JAKARTA - A total of 8,649 students were poisoned after eating food from the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program as of September 27 based on data from the Indonesian Education Monitoring Network. The worst incident occurred in West Bandung Regency, precisely in Cipongkor and Cihampelas. 1,315 students were poisoned by MBG. In Ketapang, West Kalimantan, 24 students were poisoned after eating fried sharks.

Presidential Chief of Staff Muhammad Qodari said that the root of the problem was that of the 8,583 MBG kitchens, only 34 had a Sanitation Higiene Certificate (SLHS). Deputy Head of BGN, Nanik S. Deyang apologized and said that BGN was also guilty of repeated poisoning.

Despite receiving criticism from the public, the MBG program will continue to run. President Prabowo Subianto has summoned BGN officials and the relevant ranks of ministers to evaluate MBG. The question is, who should be responsible? Check out the full information in VOI.id.
