Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, The implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program in Karawang Regency is now under the strict supervision of the Karawang District Prosecutor's Office (Kejari). This step is a follow-up to the strategic collaboration between the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) and the Attorney General's Office through the launch of the "Jaga Dapur MBG" application. This inherent supervision aims to ensure that all Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) in the Karawang area run according to legal corridors, especially in managing very large budgets.The Head of the Karawang District Prosecutor's Office, Dedy Irwan Virantama, emphasized that his party is here to provide legal assistance to prevent fraud by foundations and management partners. The Prosecutor's Office will monitor in detail each cost component, starting from the food budget, operational costs, to profit margins which have been set by BGN. "We ensure that at all stages of the program, especially budget management, there are no irregularities by any party," stressed Dedy in his statement, Thursday (2/4/2026).
Apart from internal supervision, the Karawang Prosecutor's Office together with the Karawang Regency BGN are currently developing a field control mechanism that involves various elements of society. Schools, parents and local residents are asked to actively supervise everything from the production process in the kitchen to the distribution of food to students. This public involvement is considered crucial to maintain the quality of the menu served, considering that previously there had been complaints regarding the discrepancy between the quality of the food and the value of the budget disbursed.As a form of transparency, the Karawang Prosecutor's Office will also open a special reporting hotline to accommodate complaints regarding the MBG kitchen. Through this channel, the public can report any discrepancies in the daily menu or allegations of extortion and corruption in program implementation. The Prosecutor's Office is committed to responding quickly to every report to ensure that children's nutritional rights in Karawang are fulfilled optimally without any cuts to their rights by irresponsible individuals.This supervision modernization program is expected to become a new standard in the implementation of national policies at the regional level. With the collaboration between application technology and the active role of law enforcement officials, Karawang Regency is trying to become a model for a clean region in managing national strategic programs. The public now has high hopes that the Free Nutritious Meal program will really have a real impact on improving the health of the young generation in Karawang without being tainted by maladministrative practices.
