        "summary": "Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed it will not duplicate the investigation into alleged corruption within the free nutritious meal programme (MBG) at the National Nutrition Agency, which is already being pursued by the Attorney General's Office. The KPK emphasised the importance of coordination between law enforcement agencies to ensure effective and efficient case handling. The agency had previously initiated its own inquiry but has temporarily suspended it following the Attorney General's arrest of three suspects, including the agency's former head.",
        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated it will not\nduplicate or repeat the handling of the alleged corruption case in the\nFree Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme within the National Nutrition\nAgency, which is currently being handled by the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice. \u201cThe KPK does not duplicate law enforcement processes for cases\nthat have been handled by other law enforcement agencies,\u201d said KPK\nSpokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Friday. He added\nthat the KPK is open to the Attorney General\u2019s Office coordinating in\nhandling the ongoing case. \u201cIn the criminal justice system, inter-agency\nlaw enforcement indeed requires good coordination so that case handling\ncan run effectively, efficiently, and provide legal certainty,\u201d he said.\nMeanwhile, he stated that the KPK\u2019s main focus at present is ensuring\nthat the legal processes within each institution can run optimally.\n\u201cThus, the objectives of law enforcement to uncover criminal events,\nhold involved parties accountable, and recover state losses can be\nachieved,\u201d he said. Previously, on 3 June 2026, the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice named former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana, former BGN Deputy Head\nLodewyk Pusung, and Sony Sanjaya as suspects in the alleged corruption\ncase concerning the governance of the MBG programme. The Attorney\nGeneral\u2019s Office suspects the suspects appointed several foundations\nthat did not meet requirements and had connections to them to become\nmanagers of MBG kitchens or Nutritional Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG).\nAdditionally, investigators also suspect price inflation occurred in\nseveral procurements of goods and services, resulting in state financial\nlosses. On 8 June 2026, the KPK revealed that the agency had previously\nconducted an investigation into alleged corruption related to the MBG\nprogramme at BGN before the Attorney General\u2019s Office announced the\ndetention of the agency\u2019s former leadership. On 17 June 2026, the KPK\nstated it had decided to temporarily suspend the investigation related\nto MBG at BGN. A day later, the KPK also emphasised that the suspension\nof the investigation was temporary, not permanent.<\/p>",
