100 Fictitious SPPG Sites Found in Cilacap, Including One in a Cemetery

Acting Regent of Cilacap, Ammy Amalia Fatma Surya, has revealed a startling discovery regarding the registration of Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) sites in her district. Of the more than 300 points recorded, approximately 100 are suspected to be fictitious after field inspections found no supporting buildings or activities. The findings emerged after checks were conducted by SPPG heads appointed by the central Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN). Results showed that a number of registered locations were in impossible places for service facilities. “There are already more than 300 points in Cilacap Regency. After being visited by the SPPG heads appointed by the central BGN, there are about 100 points with no buildings at all. Some are in the middle of forests, some in the middle of rice fields, and some in the middle of a cemetery,” Ammy said, as quoted from detikcom on Tuesday (23/6). According to her, the findings reinforce suspicions of a practice involving the buying and selling of points or the registration of fictitious points within the SPPG programme. The issue has now become a serious concern for the local government and related parties. “So the issue of buying and selling points, and fictitious points, is indeed real and this is what we must fix,” she stated. Ammy explained that some of the registered points were even still being offered for sale to other parties, indicating a lack of infrastructure readiness and legal clarity. “So the point exists, but it is still being offered around, to see if anyone wants to buy it or not,” she revealed. She added that the majority of the discovered points were registered under a foundation bearing the name of the Deputy Head of BGN, Sony Sanjaya. “Yes, on average the foundations carry Sony’s name,” she said. As a follow-up, the latest meeting with the investigation team sent by the Head of BGN resulted in a decision to temporarily halt the opening of new SPPG points in Cilacap.
