Former Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Sony\nSonjaya, while being examined as a suspect in the Free Nutritious Meal\n(MBG) governance case, revealed that 41 names were involved in the\ncorruption. Deputy Chairman of House Commission IX, Charles Honoris,\nstated that this information must be thoroughly investigated and\nverified by prosecutors.<\/p>\n
\"We respect the ongoing legal process at the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice and believe that law enforcement officials will work\nprofessionally and independently, and will be able to shed full light on\nthis case,\" Charles told reporters on Sunday (21\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
Charles urged that the information not be taken at face value before\ninvestigators conduct a thorough examination. He said that if proven,\nall involved parties must be processed according to the applicable\nlaw.<\/p>\n
\"The information regarding the 41 names mentioned by Mr Sony Sonjaya\nmust certainly be investigated and verified comprehensively by\nprosecutors,\" he said. \"If sufficient evidence is indeed found, then\nwhoever is involved must be held accountable in accordance with the\nlaw.\"<\/p>\n
Charles also reminded Sony Sonjaya not to carelessly name other\nparties without clear evidence, as this could disrupt the focus of the\ncase handling.<\/p>\n
\"On the other hand, I also hope that Mr Sony does not simply throw\nout names or make statements that obscure the substance of the case\ncurrently ensnaring him,\" he said. \"Every piece of information conveyed\nmust be accountable and supported by valid evidence so that it truly\naids law enforcement, rather than becoming a distraction from the case\nunder investigation.\"<\/p>\n
The PDIP politician stated that the most important thing at present\nis the complete uncovering of all parties involved in the alleged\nirregularities in the MBG programme\u2019s governance. He said both the main\nperpetrators and other parties must be fully exposed.<\/p>\n
\"A programme concerning the nutritional rights of Indonesian children\nmust not be tainted by corrupt practices and abuse of authority,\" he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Previously, Sony\u2019s legal counsel, Krisna Murti, conveyed that during\nthe day\u2019s examination, Sony was again asked by investigators to detail\n26 names of parties who proposed locations for the Nutrition Fulfilment\nService Units (SPPG) or MBG kitchens. Krisna mentioned that the number\nof 26 names had grown to 41 names.<\/p>\n
\"So, from the 26 names we previously mentioned, when one person\u2019s\nchat was opened, the table was filled with about, the total was 41\nnames. So the total has now increased to 41 names,\" Krisna told\nreporters at the Jampidsus building of the Indonesian Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice in South Jakarta on Thursday (18\/6).<\/p>\n
He explained that the increase was related to parties requesting a\nshare of SPPG points affiliated with the previously mentioned names.\nFrom this, the list grew to 41 names suspected of being involved.<\/p>\n
\"So one person had a table, \u2018Sir, this belongs to this person, this\nbelongs to this person, this one belongs to this Regent\u2019, like that.\n\u2018This one belongs to this person, this one belongs to this person\u2019. So\nthe total number of names from yesterday\u2019s 26 plus the ones just\nmentioned, then there were an additional three names mentioned by Mr\nSoni, so the total today is 41 names,\" he continued.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/house-deputy-speaker-urges-attorney-general-to-verify-41-names-in-free-nutritious-meal-corruption-case-1782006647", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
