JAKARTA - The Coordinator for the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK) Pahala Nainggolan suggested that the free lunch program, which is Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka's campaign promise, should be shared based on integrated social welfare data (DTKS).The goal is to avoid irregularities and the benefits of the budget can be enjoyed by the targets that should be.“ It's just open who receives it, there is DTKS. Most of that has to do with the existing instruments. Don't stamp, chip, cup pick new people,” Pahala told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 23.Pahala said that data has always been a problem in the country. “ The story is the same, if (program, red) is mass throughout Indonesia (usually, red) is one person, ” said the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK.In addition to data problems, there are usually bad practices related to the procurement of goods and services. Thus, Stranas PK will later pay attention to the process carried out to realize the free lunch program.In fact, Pahala plans to contact the Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Suharso Monoarfa to get further information on the program. “ We'll see what the details are, then we'll see about where there is potential that we prevent corruption,” he said."We want to see what the mechanism is down, we'll see later. My guess is, Pak Suharso will definitely invite Stranas PK as well as how to secure it," he continued.As previously reported, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka has a free lunch program and free milk for children and pregnant women. They touted it during the 2024 presidential election campaign.
The program is promoted to improve the nutritional quality of children from the time they are in the womb. To make this program a success, Prabowo has even studied the culture of providing free lunch at schools in Beijing, China.This was done as well as carrying out state visits to China as Minister of Defense. There, Prabowo saw the menu presented by the school as clean and nutritious with various healthy food menus ranging from animal protein to vegetables and snacks.
