JAKARTA - Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to monitor 1,179 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) owned by the Police. They even wrote to the KPK Prevention and Monitoring Department headed by Aminuddin.

"Through this letter we ask that monitoring, monitoring and studies be carried out on the SPPG management scheme by the National Police," said ICW Advocacy Division staff, Yassar Aulia, as quoted from the ICW official website on Wednesday, February 25.

ICW then explained that this monitoring was important because the management of the SPPG Polri was not carried out directly. "Except through the intermediary of the Kemala Bhayangkari Foundation," said Yassar.

The findings of ICW, continued Yassar, this foundation has branches attached to almost all Regional Police (Polda) and Police Resor (Polres) in Indonesia. On its official website, there are 419 Kemala Bhayangkari Foundations with the composition of the number of management: 378 branch levels, 34 regional management levels, 5 levels of independent branch management, 1 combined management level, and 1 central management level.

Each regional management has a different composition of managers and members. "However, the leadership of the foundation has always been consistent in being filled by the wife of the Regional Police Chief or the Regional Police Chief in the region concerned," he said.

In addition, the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is also said to give privileges to the National Police if it wants to build an MBG kitchen. One of them, there is no maximum limit of 10 SPPG per foundation as stipulated in the Decree of the Head of the National Nutrition Agency No. 401.1 of 2025 concerning Technical Instructions for the Management of the Free Nutritional Meal Program for the 2026 Fiscal Year.

"The practice of managing SPPG by the National Police has the potential to trigger conflicts of interest due to the family relationship between the police and the foundation, as well as financial conflicts of interest due to various incentives and costs obtained from BGN when managing the MBG kitchen," explained Yassar.

For information, the National Police has built 1,179 SPPGs and 18 Food Security Warehouses in Indonesia. This development includes in the Backward, Leading and Outermost (3T) areas.

In 2026, the National Police will again build 1,500 SPPGs throughout Indonesia. To support the security of MBG, he said, 201 SPPG National Police have a Certificate of Sanitary Hygiene.

Meanwhile, 119 SPBG Polri have Halal Certificates and 147 SPPG Polri have Air Laboratory Test Certificates.
