JAKARTA - The issue of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program is again crowded on social media. One of the questions: is it true that since MBG has been running, the price of spices has gone up?
The question was asked by a journalist to the Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Friday, February 27.
Teddy did not go into details about the price of spices. He emphasized the purpose of MBG, then directed the technical explanation to other officials.
"The point is that I want to answer. I just said, this MBG program is to improve the quality of human resources," said the Secretary of the Cabinet, Teddy.
When asked to clarify the issue of spices, he said the details would be explained later.
"If the one who was just now will explain the details tomorrow. He will give details specifically about what must be improved and implemented in the future," he said.
Teddy also previously straightened out the narrative that he said was wrong, namely the accusation that MBG reduced education programs and budgets so that schools were abandoned and teachers were not taken care of.
He emphasized that the education program would continue, even with additional policies.
