Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives\n(DPR RI), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, has spoken out regarding the dismissal of\nthree leaders of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). It is reported\nthat President Prabowo has recently removed Dadan Hindayana from his\nposition as Head of the BGN. Alongside Dadan, two Deputy Heads of the\nBGN, Lodewyk Pusung and Soni Sanjaya, have also been dismissed.<\/p>\n
Sufmi Dasco believes that the reshuffle carried out by President\nPrabowo represents a serious effort to reform the institution, which\nserves as the spearhead for the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme. He\nexpressed hope that the government\u2019s evaluation could strengthen\ninstitutional governance without disrupting services to the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that through this comprehensive evaluation, the BGN will\nreform itself and continue to serve the beneficiary communities. This\nchange will certainly not affect the services that have been ongoing,\u201d\nDasco stated at the Senayan Parliament Complex on Tuesday, 2 June\n2026.<\/p>\n
Dasco noted that the DPR appreciates President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\nswift action in evaluating and replacing the Head of the BGN and the two\ndeputy heads. He assessed that the decision demonstrates the\ngovernment\u2019s responsiveness to various inputs circulating within the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party stated that the evaluation\nserves as evidence that the government is paying attention to the\naspirations of the public, programme beneficiaries, the results of\ninter-ministerial coordination, and feedback provided by the DPR.<\/p>\n
Dasco also noted that internal improvements within the BGN are an\nurgent necessity to ensure that the national strategic programme for\nnutritional fulfilment can operate optimally. According to him, the\nchange in leadership must not hinder ongoing public services.<\/p>\n
He expressed hope that the new leadership of the BGN would\nimmediately map out existing issues, particularly those related to the\ndistribution and logistics of the national nutrition programme. The\nprimary focus of the reform, he said, must be directed towards ensuring\nequitable access to nutritional services across all regions of\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the explanation from the Minister of State Secretary, there\nare evaluations being conducted by the government. In this instance, it\nconcerns governance and inter-ministerial cooperation, which were deemed\ninsufficient, along with several other points that the government noted\nmust be improved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As a replacement for Dadan, the President has appointed Nanik S.\nDeyang as the new Head of the BGN. The deputy head positions will be\nfilled by Agustina Arumsari and Major General (Rtd) Trenggono.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dasco-comments-on-dismissal-of-bgn-head-dadan-hindayana-and-two-deputies-highlighting-mbg-governance-1780862213", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
