TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - The Free Nutritional Meals (MBG) program, a priority of President Prabowo Subianto's administration, continues to face a wave of opposition. Most recently, MBG Watch urged the program's termination in a meeting with Commission IX of the House of Representatives (DPR) on Thursday (July 16, 2026). MBG Watch member Agus Sarwono revealed that his coalition had predicted conflicts of interest in the MBG program from the beginning. One example is the practice of buying and selling Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG), which involves various interest groups, from security forces, political parties, to the campaign team. Agus also highlighted the lack of clear baseline studies and feasibility studies for the MBG program. He also asked President Prabowo to conduct a thorough reflection and evaluate the overall benefits of this program for the wider community. "Therefore, today's judgment is that a comprehensive program evaluation is necessary. To achieve this, it is appropriate to halt the free nutritious meal program," said Agus.
