MBG Continues, President Prabowo: It's Better to Use Money to Feed People than to Corrupt

Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto reiterated his commitment to continue the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program amid the surge in criticism.

This, according to President Prabowo, is a form of real state bias towards the people, especially vulnerable children.

This program is not only aimed at overcoming nutritional problems and stunting, but also as part of the human resource development strategy as well as the people's economic drivers.

Amid various criticisms and fiscal challenges, President Prabowo emphasized that this program remains a priority because it concerns the basic needs of the community.

This was conveyed by President Prabowo Subianto in a dialogue with senior figures and journalists at Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, some time ago.

Apart from the social impact, President Prabowo emphasized that the MBG program also has a wide economic impact through the creation of jobs in various sectors, ranging from production kitchens to the food supply chain.
