JAKARTA - The Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Dadan Hindayana explained that the budget for electric motorcycles for the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) was included in the Year-End Budget Reserve Account (RPATA) which had been in accordance with the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK).
Dadan conveyed this in response to the circulation of a video of a motorcycle with the BGN logo that went viral on social media. This clarification also confirms the commitment to transparency and accountability in the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program.
"At the end of 2025, the Commitment Maker Officer (PPK) has submitted a Payment Order (SPM) so that the budget is included in the RPATA. This mechanism is in accordance with PMK 84 of 2025, where payment is made in two stages: term 1 upon completion of 60 percent of units, and term 2 for completion of up to 100 percent of units," said Dadan as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 9.
Dadan added that until the end of the opportunity period on March 20, 2026, the provider was only able to complete 85.01 percent or as many as 21,801 units out of the 25,644 units contracted.
"The remaining funds that have been collected are returned to the state treasury with the cancellation of the RPATA together with the payment of the second phase," he said.
In total, the realization of the procurement of electric motors reached 21,801 units from the initial plan of 25,644 units. Dadan also emphasized that the information that said the number reached 70 thousand units was not true.
He also explained that the procurement of electric motorcycles was part of the 2025 budget planning, not a new program that suddenly appeared.
"The procurement of electric motorcycles has been planned in the 2025 budget as part of the operational support of the MBG Program, especially to support the mobility of the head of the SPPG," he said.
Dadan explained that although it was included in the 2025 budget, the realization of procurement in administrative and financial terms took place in 2026. This is due to the final process of the budget which has gone through the official government mechanism.
