JAKARTA - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) closed 833 Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) kitchens in a number of regions in Indonesia.

"There are 833 kitchens that we are subsidizing today," said BGN Head, Sudaryono, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, July 27.

The hundreds of kitchens that were discontinued consisted of 98 SPPG kitchens in Sumatra, 424 SPPG kitchens in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), and Papua, then 311 SPPG kitchens in Java and Madura.

His party ensures that the closed kitchens will not be paid, because they have been proven to violate SOPs, such as no food, there are cases of poisoning, the quality of food does not meet standards, and the Wastewater Treatment Plant (Ipal) which has not met the requirements.

"The kitchen that was suspended is not like the past. It was suspended, but it was still paid. If it is closed now, it is not paid, because it is a violation," said Sudaryono.

In addition to closing hundreds of SPPGs that violated, his party also dismissed 261 non-ASN employees consisting of 224 non-ASN employees and 37 experts.

Then, his party also gave heavy disciplinary punishment to 9 ASN who committed serious violations and 39 other ASN received light disciplinary punishment.

"We found nine ASN committing serious or serious disciplinary violations. It is likely that we will process their dismissal. Then, 39 minor disciplinary violations were found which we will follow up with transfers, demotions, as well as administrative sanctions and warnings," said Sudaryono.

Sudaryono emphasized that BGN under his leadership continues to strive to correct BGN from corrupt behavior.

"It is important for us to ensure that state servants in every kitchen work as well as possible, as clean as possible, and ensure that the menu served is good. Because the head of the SPPG is our employee, a state servant under the BGN. We try to solve how from the side of openness, transparency, communication, the involvement of many parties, the involvement of other agencies, other ministries, other institutions, local governments, services, as well as public involvement in overseeing whether it is the menu, distribution, kitchen, cleanliness," he said.
