KPK Ready To Aim For "Disrupters" Of Free Nutrition Eating Programs

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) oversees the full free nutritious food program in the era of President Prabowo Subianto. Anyone who tries corruption will deal with the anti-corruption commission.

"KPK ensures that anyone who is included in the category of legal subjects that can be handled by the KPK and obtains sufficient evidence that has committed a criminal act of corruption will be processed according to applicable legal regulations," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika in a written statement to reporters quoted on Tuesday, January 7.

Tessa said this free nutritious eating program took up a budget that was not small, namely Rp71 trillion. So, its implementation must be effective and efficient.

Moreover, the goal is to improve the quality of life of the nation's future generations. "In order to realize this goal, the KPK hopes that the implementation of the activity in question can run effectively and efficiently," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

"So there are no irregularities, especially corruption in its implementation," continued Tessa.
