Finance Minister: Budget for SPPG Head Motorcycles to Be Included in 2025, Not This Year
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Finance Minister (Menkeu) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the budget for motorcycles for the Heads of Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) is not included in this year’s procurement, but will be in 2025.
“That’s clear, there is none this year, I just checked again,” said Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa when met ahead of the briefing for ministers, deputy ministers, and echelon I-level officials of ministries/institutions at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, on Wednesday.
“That was last year’s budget, there is none this year,” Purbaya emphasised.
Regarding the status of the motorcycles that are already available and whether distribution will proceed as planned, he said it is necessary to ask the Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Dadan Hindayana.
“Ask Mr. BGN Chairman about the status,” he added.
In an official response on Tuesday (7/4), BGN Head Dadan Hindayana explained that the motorcycles budgeted from 2025 for SPPG Heads have not yet been officially distributed.
“The procurement of these motorcycles is indeed included in the 2025 budget. Their function is to support the operations of SPPG heads, but the motorcycles have not been distributed,” Dadan stated.
Before distribution, the available vehicles must still go through administrative processes as state-owned goods (BMN) before they can be used. The realisation of motorcycle procurement will proceed gradually starting in December 2025.
Regarding information circulating on social media about the procurement reaching 70,000 units, Dadan emphasised that the news is untrue or a hoax.
“The information about 70,000 units is not true. The total realisation of electric motorcycles is 21,801 units out of 25,000 units ordered in 2025,” Dadan said.
Content circulating on social media shows electric motorcycles with the BGN logo wrapped in plastic. This has not been confirmed as true, so the public is urged not to share unverified information immediately.
