Free Nutrition Eating Program Many Criticisms, Cak Imin: Everything Is Still In Process
Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, said that the Free Nutrition Eating Program (MBG) is still in the evaluation stage in various ways.
The statement was made in response to the many criticisms regarding the Prabowo-Gibran government program regarding the mechanism for its provision.
"All of this is a process. There is a trial, there is a success to be continued, there is a corrected error. I continue to ask the Head of MBG to involve MSMEs in the process so that the control must be strengthened," Muhaimin told reporters at TMPN Jakarta, Saturday, January 11.
According to him, the government is open to all criticisms or complaints. Because, that can make the MBG program even better.
"The important thing is that all complaints, all difficulties are conveyed quickly. The government will respond quickly," he said.

In the future, it is hoped that the community will be more proactive in providing input so that MBG becomes a program that really meets the needs of all students.
On the other hand, Cak Imin also emphasized that the involvement of MSMEs is the key to the success of this program. Moreover, it can improve the community's economy.
"By involving MSMEs, in addition to improving the quality of food, we also empower the local economy," he said.
