JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has\nexpressed its willingness to monitor the 1,179 Nutrition Service Units\n(SPPG) to ensure the Free Nutritious Food program is implemented\noptimally and transparently.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in response to a\nletter from Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) requesting that the KPK\ngive special attention to the thousands of Polri SPPGs.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, the possibility of monitoring these SPPGs is open so that\nthis program can also optimally provide a positive impact and benefits\nto the community, and that all processes, from the planning and\nimplementation stages to the accountability stage, are carried out in\naccordance with procedures and transparently,\u201d said Budi in a statement\non Thursday (February 26, 2026).<\/p>\n
Budi said that the KPK would examine the substance of the letter sent\nby ICW regarding the findings related to the thousands of Polri SPPGs.\nHe said that the KPK would also coordinate with the Polri in monitoring\nthe MBG kitchens.<\/p>\n
Budi also invited the public to participate in monitoring and\nsupervising the MBG program implemented by the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, we all invite the public to participate in monitoring and\nsupervising every program carried out by the government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) asked the Corruption\nEradication Commission (KPK) to give special attention to the 1,779\nNutrition Service Units (SPPG) owned by the Polri.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by ICW Advocacy Division Staff, Yassar Aulia, at\nthe Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday (February 24, 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe sent a letter to the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring. In the\nletter, we requested that the Deputy give more attention to the\nmanagement mechanism of the SPPGs currently owned by the Polri,\u201d said\nYassar.<\/p>\n
Yassar said that ICW highlighted one of the Polri SPPGs which is\nmanaged by an intermediary, namely the Kemala Bhayangkari\nFoundation.<\/p>\n
He said that the foundation is not the only one, but has many\nbranches at the regional level.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if we count, there are 490 Polres and 34 Polda. If we look at\nthe website of the Kemala Bhayangkari Foundation, there are about 419\nfoundations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Yassar suspects that the thousands of SPPGs are managed by the Kemala\nBhayangkari Foundation at the regional level with different\nmanagement.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, each foundation is generally limited to only 10 SPPGs, but the\nPolice are not limited at all. So, this has the potential to create\ninequality in the management of this project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Not only that, Yassar also highlighted an incentive of IDR 6 million\nper day for 313 days during the year.<\/p>\n
According to ICW\u2019s calculations, the Kemala Bhayangkari Foundation\nwill receive up to IDR 2 trillion per year.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, according to our calculations, if it is true that there are\n1,179 SPPGs and they are all managed by the Kemala Bhayangkari\nFoundation, the money circulating from the incentive alone for one year\ncould reach 2 trillion. So, that\u2019s excluding the operational funds and\nthe initial funds provided by BGN of around 500 million rupiah,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
