Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

My gut feeling is that Dadan Hindayana is a perfect scapegoat for General Gemoy, who has been lambasted in the international press for so many fiscal errors.

Just my cynical mind.

The impact of the MBG program has now spread to ordinary people, including small suppliers such as fruit and fish vendors supplying MBG kitchens. Due to ongoing issues, they have not been paid by the institutions or foundations that own and operate several of these kitchens. In fact, they claim that the funds meant to pay for the goods, fruits, fishes they delivered were instead used to cover legal fees for defending the institution or foundation running the kitchens. These three ladies will need to travel from North Sumatra to MBG office in Jakarta demanding justice, as they are still owed around Rp100 million. While these suppliers are simply trying to recover their unpaid relatively small money, the kitchen operators themselves are reportedly pending, wasting several billion rupiah every day.
