The atmosphere at the Coordination Meeting of the Nutrition\nFulfillment Service Units (SPPG) across the Solo area suddenly became\nlively when the Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN),\nNanik Sudaryati Deyang, asked about the availability of rest areas for\nthose in charge of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) kitchens.<\/p>\n
This question immediately sparked a series of responses from\nparticipants, including SPPG Heads, Nutrition Supervisors, and Financial\nSupervisors from the cities of Surakarta, Boyolali, Sragen, and\nKaranganyar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich SPPGs still haven\u2019t provided facilities for you to rest?\u201d\nNanik asked during the question-and-answer session at the Coordination\nMeeting with SPPG Heads, Financial Supervisors, and Nutrition\nSupervisors from the cities of Surakarta, Boyolali, Sragen, and\nKaranganyar, in Solo, Tuesday (February 24) evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe, Ma\u2019am\u2026 me, Ma\u2019am!\u201d said an SPPG Head wearing a black hijab,\nraising her hand high. \u201cIn our place, there isn\u2019t one yet, Ma\u2019am!\u201d said\nan SPPG Head from Sragen from the back. \u201cOur SPPG has one, but it\u2019s only\none and it\u2019s not adequate!\u201d said another SPPG Head from Sragen. \u201cWe buy\nour own mattresses, Ma\u2019am!\u201d said a Nutrition Supervisor. \u201cThose who\ndon\u2019t have a rest area, or whose rest area is not adequate, please stand\nup!\u201d Nanik said.<\/p>\n
About 30 SPPG heads from three regencies and one municipality in\nCentral Java then stood up and raised their hands. Nanik then instructed\nthe Regional Coordinators (Korwil) of the SPPG in each regency and city\nto record all SPPGs whose partners had not provided rest areas for the\nSPPG Heads, Nutrition Supervisors, or Financial Supervisors. \u201cRecord\neverything, and report it to me immediately!\u201d said the former Senior\nJournalist.<\/p>\n
An SPPG Head from Boyolali then explained that she had asked her\npartner to immediately provide a rest area. Because, even though their\nSPPG has been operating for 6 months, there is still no rest area for\nthem. So far, the partner has only made promises without taking action.\nThe answer came from one of the partner\u2019s employees. \u201cIt takes a lot of\nmoney\u2026 is it your grandmother\u2019s money?\u201d he said, imitating the partner\u2019s\nemployee.<\/p>\n
Therefore, not only did Nanik instruct the Korwil to record, but she\nalso asked the SPPG Heads to explain this to their partners. \u201cTell your\nrespective partners to provide a decent rest area for the SPPG Heads,\nNutrition Supervisors, and Financial Supervisors. Because, you are\nobliged to monitor the MBG kitchen every night. If they don\u2019t\nimmediately provide a rest area, I will suspend their SPPG!\u201d she said\nfirmly.<\/p>\n
Not only about the availability of rest areas, Nanik also asked about\nthe availability of kitchen equipment in each SPPG. \u201cAre there any of\nyou whose equipment is not up to standard? Are there any partners who\nprovide used freezers or chillers?\u201d she asked on stage.<\/p>\n
An SPPG Head from Karanganyar explained that in his SPPG, much of the\nequipment was still not up to standard. \u201cIn our SPPG, the tables are not\nyet stainless steel, Ma\u2019am\u2026\u201d he said. \u201cIn our SPPG, the partner only\nprovides used freezers and chillers. We have asked for new ones to be\npurchased, but it has not been done yet,\u201d said the SPPG Head from\nSurakarta.<\/p>\n
Nanik then instructed the Korwil to record all SPPGs whose equipment\nwas not up to standard and even used used equipment. \u201cHave the SPPG\nHeads stand up again. Korwil, record everything. The Korwil must also\ndiligently go around to the SPPGs to monitor the kitchens to see if they\nare in accordance with the SOP and guidelines. Don\u2019t just take care of\npotential kitchen locations!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Daily Chair of the Coordinating Team of 17 Ministries and\nAgencies for the Implementation of the MBG Program emphasized that\npartners are obliged to provide new and standard equipment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s ridiculous! They already get 6 million per day, why use used\nequipment? Tell the partners that if the equipment is still not up to\nstandard, and even used, I will suspend them! Whoever they are,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/sppg-heads-complain-about-lack-of-rest-areas-in-mbg-kitchens-1772032611", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
