National Nutrition Agency Office Reportedly Searched Amid Internal Audit

The office of Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency (BGN) in Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, was reportedly searched by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) on Wednesday, June 3. Employees arriving for work were allegedly prevented from entering the building while the search was in progress.

Eyewitness accounts from the scene described BGN employees waiting outside the office premises during regular working hours. They were reportedly instructed to wait outside pending further directives due to the ongoing investigation involving the Attorney General's Office. Security personnel indicated that the investigative team had been present since early Wednesday morning.

As of 9:00 AM, employees were still arriving but could not access the building. Media personnel attempting to cover the event were also denied entry past the main gate. Neither the BGN nor the Attorney General's Office has officially commented on the reported search.

This development comes shortly after President Prabowo Subianto dismissed the Head of BGN, Dadan Hindayana. Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi confirmed that an internal audit is underway concerning alleged practices of buying and selling the "Satuan Pemenuhan Pelayanan Gizi" (SPPG) for the "Makan Bergizi Gratis" (MBG) program. Hadi stated that the dismissal was part of ongoing monitoring and evaluation, citing issues with adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), governance, and maintaining the quality of food standards set by the agency. He assured that the leadership change would not disrupt the free nutritious meal program.
