BGN Awaits Final Court Ruling on Electric Motorcycle Distribution
The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has stated it is still awaiting clarity on the outcome of the alleged corruption case involving former leaders and a commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (PT YAT), concerning the distribution of electric motorcycles for the free nutritious meal (MBG) project.
Hanibal Wijayanta, the agency’s Chief Expert for Media, said his institution cannot yet take further steps regarding the distribution of the electric motorcycles because they are still considered an object of the case being uncovered by the Attorney General’s Office. “Therefore, our next step is to wait until this case has a final and binding legal decision,” Hanibal said when confirmed by Tempo via WhatsApp message on Saturday, 13 June 2026.
On Friday, the Attorney General’s Office urged the BGN to promptly complete the distribution of tens of thousands of electric motorcycles intended for nutritional service fulfilment units (SPPG). Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, Director of Investigations at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, said that to date, the motorcycles are still in warehouses. “Only a small portion have reached their destinations, where the people are, where the kitchens are located,” he said at the Attorney General’s Office on Friday, 12 June 2026.
He explained that tens of thousands of electric motorcycles implicated in this case are still in one of the storage warehouses located in the Sentul Industrial Area, Babakan Madang District, Bogor Regency. The two-wheeled vehicles have remained untouched and have not been fully distributed since being purchased at the end of last March.
On 3 June, the Attorney General’s Office named former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana, former BGN Deputy Head Sony Sanjaya, and Lodewyk Pusung as suspects in the alleged MBG corruption case. The case originated from an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office into suspected governance irregularities in the MBG project that took place throughout 2025 to 2026. Investigators suspect there was a practice of buying and selling SPPG locations in the implementation of this project.
Investigators charged Sony, Dadan, and Lodewyk under Article 603 in conjunction with Article 20 letter a or c of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Article 18 of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption. Most recently, the Adhyaksa Corps also named PT YAT Commissioner Andri Mulyono as a new suspect. PT YAT is the provider of electric motorcycles for the BGN.
Andri is suspected of unlawfully carrying out manipulation and collusion with internal BGN parties from the project planning stage through to the fund disbursement stage. He allegedly engaged in manipulation starting from actively pursuing projects that had not been legally announced, inflating funds, and receiving 100 percent payment for the procurement of electric motorcycles according to a manipulated handover report.
The procurement package for the two-wheeled vehicles is recorded on the Inaproc General Procurement Plan Information System page belonging to the Government Goods/Services Procurement Policy Institute. This procurement is recorded in the 2025 fiscal year. The recorded budget ceiling value is IDR 1.22 trillion for a requirement of 24,400 units. However, PT YAT was only able to provide 21,801 two-wheeled vehicles by the end of March 2026.
