Jakarta - The Head of the National Nutrition Agency or BGN Nanik S. Deyang stated that the opening of new kitchens for the nutritious meal program would be temporarily stopped. The government wants to first organize 27,877 kitchens that are already operating.
Nanik said the number was recorded based on virtual accounts as of today. According to Nanik, BGN needs to ensure that the existing kitchens are in accordance with the needs of beneficiaries or are actually piling up in certain areas.
"We stop there first. We will manage it," said Nanik at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Monday, June 8, after being inaugurated.
He gave an example of the need to remap kitchen needs in areas such as Central Java and DKI Jakarta. BGN will see whether the number of kitchens in certain areas is sufficient, excessive, or still lacking.
Nanik emphasized that the government did not want to rush to open a new kitchen before knowing the actual needs in the field.
