Indonesian prosecutors have designated Andri Mulyono, commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (PT YAT), as a new suspect in a corruption case involving the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program. PT YAT served as the vendor for electric motorcycles supplied to the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). Despite the ongoing investigation, prosecutors have decided not to seize the tens of thousands of electric motorcycles distributed under the program. Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, Director of Investigation for Special Crimes at the Attorney General's Office, stated that not all procured assets require seizure as evidence. "Especially since this is a service, we will not seize all the electric motorcycle evidence," Syarief explained on Friday, June 12, 2026, in South Jakarta. He added that prosecutors only need to trace the procurement process, making the seizure of all motorcycles unnecessary. The procurement of these two-wheeled vehicles was recorded on the Inaproc public procurement plan information system of the government's goods and services procurement policy agency. The procurement, part of the 2025 fiscal year, had an allocated budget of Rp 1.22 trillion for 24,400 units. However, by the end of March 2026, the vendor had only supplied 21,801 units. The BGN's electric motorcycle procurement previously gained attention after a video showed a warehouse full of BGN-branded motorcycles. At the time, the Head of the National Nutrition Agency, Dadan Hindayana, confirmed the 21,801 units were still in the distributor's warehouse. Dadan noted that the motorcycles were intended for the nutrition fulfillment service points (SPPG) in areas with difficult access, to support their operations. Dadan has since been replaced as head of BGN. Along with Andri Mulyono, Dadan, two former deputies, Inspector General (Ret.) Sony Sonjaya and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Lodewyk Pusung, and Asep Yusuf Somantri have also been named suspects in the case.
