Prabowo previously stated that the case of poisoning in the implementation of the MBG program in a number of regions as a big problem that must be resolved properly.
“This is a big problem, so there must be a shortage from the beginning. But, I am also sure that we will be resolved well,” said President Prabowo at Halim Perdanakusuma Lanud, Jakarta, Saturday (9/27).
Prabowo said that although he had only returned from overseas visits for seven days, he continued to monitor the development of the case.
He asserted that he would immediately summon the Head of the National Nutrition Agency Dadan Hindayana along with a number of related officials to discuss handling steps.
According to Prabowo, since the beginning the implementation of the MBG program there are still a number of shortcomings.However, Prabowo believes the obstacles that arise can be immediately improved so that program goals can be achieved.
The President also requested that this problem not be politicized and emphasized that MBG was intended to help children who had difficulty getting nutritious food.
“Don’t let this be politicized. The purpose of eating nutritious is for our children who often find it difficult to eat. Maybe we eat decent, they eat only rice using salt. This is what we have to overcome. To feed millions there must be obstacles, obstacles, we overcome this,” said the President.
Previously, there was an increase in poisoning cases after consuming the MBG program menu in a number of regions in recent weeks, which resulted in many students having to get medical treatment.
The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) which is the leading sector of this program has issued a decision related to anticipating MBG poisoning cases.
Deputy Head of Bgn Nanik S. Deyang emphasized that all partner kitchens who had been involved in poisoning cases had received an official notification letter.
“Today we have issued a letter to all the kitchens that were previously problematic. The verification process is now much tighter,” he said in Jakarta, Friday (9/26).
As part of supervision, BGN will mobilize the inspection team consisting of elements of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), the Health Office, and the Police.
This team is tasked with evaluating the kitchen conditions directly and ensuring the fulfillment of the standards set in the Technical Guidelines (Technical Guidelines).
“If we find a kitchen that does not meet the technical guidelines, the operations will be immediately stopped. There is no tolerance in this matter,” he said.
