Based on VOI monitoring at the location, Airlangga's lunch menu contains yellow rice, chicken opor, tofu and tempe bacem, dried potatoes or mustopha potatoes, and chili sauce.

"So eating is standard at the Coordinating Minister's office for one year, and the cost is no more than Rp. 15,000 (per serving)," said Airlangga when met at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy Office, Jakarta, Friday, March 8.

Airlangga emphasized that the lunch program at his office was not part of the program launched by Prabowo-Gibran.

"Only today, it's not (the) eating (in the afternoon) IDR 15,000 (Prabowo-Gibran)," he said.

As is known, presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 02, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka is launching a free lunch and milk program. This program targets children throughout Indonesia.

The free lunch menu of IDR 15,000 per child will be adjusted to the policies of each region. However, what is clear is that the budget will be evenly distributed throughout Indonesia.
