Seven SPPG Heads in Conggeang, Sumedang, Clarify Issues Regarding MBG Programme Governance
Seven Heads of Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) under the management of the Nurul Huda Conggeang Foundation have issued a right of reply and clarification regarding circulating reports concerning alleged hacking of Virtual Account (VA) Maker accounts and the mismanagement of Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme funds.
Through their spokesperson, Iwan Ridwanudin, Head of SPPG Sumedang Ujungjaya Sukamulya, the SPPG Heads emphasised their rejection of all allegations involving the hacking of Maker Virtual Account accounts, illegal system takeovers, or the alleged draining of foundation funds as previously reported. They asserted that these accusations lack accountable evidence and have not been stated in any official audit results from the National Nutrition Agency (BBS).
“We reject these allegations. The change of the VA Maker is an administrative process requested by the Facility Owner Partner to the National Nutrition Agency and has received confirmation from the Deputy of Systems and Governance of the BGN in April 2026,” said Iwan. He added that the process is part of the programme’s official mechanism, making it inaccurate to interpret it as hacking or an illegal act.
The SPPG Heads also stated that since April 2026, several related parties have submitted official reports to the BGN regarding alleged governance issues in the implementation of the programme under the Nurul Huda Conggeang Foundation. These reports include requests for audits and thorough investigations by authorised institutions.
Key points raised in the reports include the alleged use of identities and Maker Virtual Account accounts that do not comply with technical regulations, including account management patterns allegedly centralised under certain parties. This is said to contravene the provisions in the Decree of the Deputy of Systems and Governance of the BGN. Furthermore, there are allegations of government aid funds being managed inconsistently with their intended purpose, which reportedly led to payment delays for several suppliers across various SPPGs. According to the complainants, these matters require further verification by the authorities.
The SPPG Heads also reported alleged pressure regarding the setting of raw material prices outside of fair market rates, as well as obstacles in providing raw materials and operational facilities. This has forced some parties to cover service needs using personal funds to ensure the continuity of services to beneficiaries.
Additionally, they highlighted discrepancies in infrastructure, including wastewater treatment plants (IPAL) and the feasibility of operational facilities, which they believe need to be reviewed according to applicable standards. Other issues raised include alleged intervention in the duties of SPPG Heads, as well as the alleged suspension of operations and the locking of several SPPG units without written decisions from authorised authorities within the BGN.
Beyond complaints to the BGN, the SPPG Heads mentioned that they have reported several issues to law enforcement in Sumedang and Bogor Regencies, relating to alleged operational halts, work interference, and supplier payment issues. Given these various reports, the SPPG Heads emphasised the importance of not interpreting information unilaterally, but rather placing it within a complete context. They reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the investigation process by both the BGN and law enforcement.
“We respect the entire ongoing process. We are ready to provide all necessary data and information so that everything can be examined objectively and transparently to maintain the integrity of the programme,” said Iwan.
This right of reply was issued on behalf of seven SPPG Heads from the Sumedang and Bogor regions: Muhammad Iqbal, Fadhli Rusdiansyah Hafidh, M. Ridho Firdaus, Neng Nitty Rostianti, Iwan Ridwanudin, Silvia Anggraeni, and Julisar Hardiansyah. They hope that the clarification and investigation processes proceed according to regulations, resulting in clarity for the sustainability of the Free Nutritious Meal Programme as one of the national strategic programmes.
