        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Head of the Presidential Staff Office\n(KSP), Dudung Abdurachman, admitted to receiving a report from one of\nthe deputy heads of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) that there are\nmany disparities in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the Deputy Chair of the BGN came to my office. In a manner of\nspeaking, there are already many disparities that he has seen, and even\nover a thousand (MBG kitchens) have been suspended,\u201d Dudung said after a\nsurprise inspection of SPPG in Kebon Jeruk and Petamburan, West Jakarta,\non Tuesday (12\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Dudung did not deny that disparities in MBG could occur extensively,\ngiven that the programme has only recently started.<\/p>\n<p>Dudung merely emphasised that the government must work hard in\nimplementing the MBG programme so that these problems can be\nresolved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut do not let this become widespread. That is what I mean. This is\nwhy we are continuously striving to oversee the President\u2019s programme to\nthe maximum,\u201d Dudung said.<\/p>\n<p>This former Army Chief of Staff will also conduct frequent surprise\ninspections at several SPPG facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, we cannot take this lightly. So it turns out there\nis indeed truth to it, and in my view, this must be fixed immediately\nand evaluated as soon as possible,\u201d Dudung said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause if, for example, it is not evaluated soon and left like\nthis, imagine rubbish piling up for a week. Now I am calling the local\nRT, do not take it lightly. One day, poisoning could occur, and children\nwould become victims. This is what we do not want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>During the inspection at the two SPPG facilities today, Dudung found\nseveral serious issues, particularly related to cleanliness, kitchen\nmanagement, and food health standards.<\/p>\n<p>Dudung assessed that the separation between dirty and clean areas is\na basic principle in food kitchen management.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he threatened that SPPG kitchens that do not meet\nstandards must be improved soon, or they will be closed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it cannot be fixed soon, just close it immediately. I will convey\nthis to the BGN,\u201d Dudung emphasised.<\/p>",
