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.

Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??
- Thread starter pantaiema
- Start date
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.

Just being flexible and pragmatic...
During his Champaign he also said 'he wanted tuition at Indonesia's public universities (PTN) to be free, or at least much cheaper'. Now the opposite happen, as many students pass the non-subsidised route and did not enrol due to the tuition fee is even higher than in the private universities.Bit of back crawling ?

Nanik S. Deyang was previously one of the deputy officials at BGN, the agency responsible for managing and administering the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program for schoolchildren. She was appointed as the head of the agency only about a month ago, after serving as a deputy under the previous leadership.
It is difficult to understand why she was appointed to the top position in the first place, given that she had been part of the previous administration. As a deputy, she would likely have been aware of the agency's operations and any issues within the MBG program. Considering that the alleged corruption in the MBG program is currently under investigation, it is reasonable to ask whether she had knowledge of, or any even benefiting from it ?
However, replacing her with Sudaryono (41), a much younger and relatively new figure, may not necessarily be the best solution, especially in a country like Indonesia where corruption has arguably become deeply embedded in parts of society and, in some cases, treated almost as a subculture or accepted practice. People at that age are typically still in the phase of building their careers and accumulating wealth, which can raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and accountability. Moreover, he is affiliated with the Gerindra Party, the political party of the current president. He has not got a good track record of managing program like MBG program. About tackling corruption in MBG, he made his first speech CLEAN OR GET FIRED!,
well time will tell. When someone become the top person in the country from the help of different parties, people, it is not uncommon to rewards them once you get elected. MBG is a good program for this sort of reward as it could reach many parties at a different level.
CLEAN OR GET FIRED! Sudaryono Threatens MBG Program Mafia
After being asked to resign (?), Nanik SUDDENLY seeks medical treatment abroad. The timing has raised questions among some observers, who speculate that individuals connected to the alleged network may have encouraged her to leave the country to avoid public scrutiny.
