Officials stated they respect the legal process and that the inclusion of names does not automatically prove involvement. The government will await the results of the official investigation, which reportedly involves inflated procurement prices and the trading of distribution points.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The Head of the Presidential Communication Office (Bakom\nRI), M Qodari, has spoken out regarding former Deputy Head of the\nNational Nutrition Agency (BGN), Sony Sonjaya, who has submitted 26\nnames allegedly involved in corruption related to the management of the\nFree Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme to the Attorney General\u2019s Office\n(Kejagung). Qodari stated that his office respects the entire legal\nprocess concerning this MBG management corruption case. Regarding the\nnames submitted, he mentioned that it is entirely the authority of the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office to investigate. \u201cFrom the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice\u2019s own explanation, there are two large groups of problems. First,\nthe existence of unsuitable prices for the procurement of several goods.\nSecond, the buying and selling of points,\u201d Qodari told reporters on\nWednesday, 10 June 2026. \u201cNow, whether the names submitted fall into the\nfirst or second group must certainly be classified, and everything is\nwith the Attorney General\u2019s Office,\u201d he continued. Qodari explained that\nmentioning these names does not directly prove their involvement in the\ncorruption case. \u201cAnd even if, for example, names are mentioned, of\ncourse, it all goes back to the legal process. Whether, for instance,\nthe buying and selling of points really occurred, that certainly goes\nback to the legal process,\u201d he said. Furthermore, Qodari emphasised that\nthe government does not wish to speculate further regarding the\nsubmitted names. The government, he said, will await the official\ninvestigation results from the investigators. \u201cSo, the point is that we\nshould just follow the legal process underway at the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice patiently and properly,\u201d he concluded. Previously, it was\nreported that Sony Sonjaya\u2019s Legal Counsel, Elza Syarief, spoke about\nher client\u2019s intention to disclose 20 names of high-ranking officials\nallegedly involved in the corruption case within the MBG management.\nRecently, a number of high-ranking names allegedly involved in the case\ncirculated on social media. Responding to this, Elza stated she did not\nknow for certain about these names because the matter remains Pro\nJustitia Confidential, or a legal secret. \u201cI don\u2019t know what is\ncirculating exactly, because it is not 20 names. What is written is 26\nand others, there are still many more. So, it is still Pro Justitia\nConfidential in nature,\u201d Elza revealed when contacted on Tuesday, 9 June\n2026.<\/p>",
