National Nutrition Agency Discovers 414 Problematic SPPG Virtual Accounts, Funds Transferred Despite Non-Operational Kitchens

The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has discovered anomalies involving hundreds of virtual accounts belonging to nutrition fulfilment service units (SPPG). Following an investigation, the BGN found that hundreds of these virtual accounts continued to receive funds even though their respective kitchens were not yet operational.

BGN Head, Sudaryono, stated that the agency has conducted inspections of thousands of SPPG virtual accounts. Preliminary findings reveal irregularities where funds from the central government were transferred to accounts for kitchens that had not yet commenced operations. “It turns out these collection accounts—the kitchen accounts—either the kitchens are not yet operational, or a single kitchen possesses multiple virtual accounts,” he said during a press conference at the BGN Building on Friday (31/07/2026).

Based on the BGN’s verification process, 414 SPPG virtual accounts were found to be problematic. As a result, the BGN has returned the funds previously transferred to these hundreds of virtual accounts back to the state.

Sudaryono noted that the total amount recovered to the state treasury so far reaches Rp 311,246,295,184. The fund recovery was processed through various banks: 121 SPPG via Bank BRI amounting to Rp 137.5 billion, 117 SPPG via Bank BNI amounting to Rp 74 billion, 129 SPPG via Bank Mandiri amounting to Rp 71.6 billion, 19 SPPG via BSI amounting to Rp 12.9 billion, and 28 SPPG via BTN amounting to Rp 15.3 billion.

“In total, we have returned Rp 311.2 billion to the state treasury from our screening of 414 SPPGs so far. We will continue our investigation to see if there are further findings, and we will provide updates,” he added.

In addition to returning the funds to the state, Sudaryono stated that the agency has reported these findings to law enforcement agencies for further action. He noted that the follow-up regarding these findings will be entirely left to the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung).

“Whether there is an indication of mens rea—for instance, an intention to steal, corrupt, or embezzle—is a matter we leave to the law enforcement at the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate,” he concluded.
