Kasus Korupsi BGN, Pengawasan Program Makan Bergizi Gratis Disorot

KOMPASTV The naming of three former leaders of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) as suspects in an alleged corruption case involving the Free Nutritional Meals (MBG) program has sparked calls for a comprehensive overhaul of the agency. Gerindra Party politician Bahtra Banong emphasized that the government's handling of the case demonstrates President Prabowo Subianto's commitment to eradicating corruption. "Since the beginning of his administration, President Prabowo has emphasized the importance of eradicating corruption, including within the BGN. The government has responded to this issue openly and implemented improvements to maintain the institution's integrity," Bahtra said on KompasTV's Sapa Pagi (Morning Greetings) on Friday (June 5, 2026). He emphasized that the MBG program is a strategic program that must be continuously monitored to ensure its benefits are optimally felt. "Going forward, it's not just about quantity, but also quality. Nutritional standards and the quality of food received by the public must be a shared concern," he said. Meanwhile, Ari Hardi, Advocacy Coordinator for the National Secretariat of the Indonesian Educational Research Journal (JPPI), believes that changing the BGN leadership is not enough to resolve the existing problems. "The removal of the BGN head is only a small step. From the beginning, the MBG program design has had a number of problems, including aspects of accountability and oversight," said Ari. #mbg #bgn #corruption To stay up-to-date with the latest and most comprehensive news, subscribe to the Kompas TV Lampung YouTube channel!
