Budget for Free Lunch Program Rp15 Thousand per Child, Minister of Health: I ask, Are they full or not?

Dream - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin responded to the question of whether the budget of Rp15,000 per child for free lunch is sufficient to meet nutritional needs. Instead of answering, Budi threw the question back to the media crew whether Rp15,000 can fill the stomach.

"Now I ask the journalist, if you eat for Rp15,000, will you feel full or not?"

Free Lunch Program Budget of Rp15 Thousand per Child, Minister of Health: I Asked, Will They Be Full or Not?

The budget may be sufficient in one area but not in another. "Well, if it's enough in Yogya," he said. According to Budi, the discussion in yesterday's cabinet meeting focused more on budget and program implementation, without specifically addressing nutritional aspects.

"If what was discussed before was to prepare the 2025 budget for the transition to the next president's term, and one of the main programs is the free lunch program. So it is better to start calculating and budgeting."

"He predicts that the lunch budget proposed by Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka is larger than the 'Isi Piring' program of the Ministry of Health."

Because the 'Isi Piring' program is specifically for children under five years old, so the portion of their meal is smaller. "If the budget they have is definitely larger, I guess it's because they eat more. If 'Isi Piring' is for 5 years and below. So they eat less," he said.

According to Budi, free meals have actually been implemented in daily life. However, free lunch in the future will be formalized and become a routine.

"Remember back in schools, we used to have meals, and in pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools), people are accustomed to being provided with meals. The behavior or culture of eating together or eating for free is actually a common occurrence in the daily life of Indonesian society, so we formalize it."

Beforehand, the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, revealed the budget for the free lunch program promoted by Prabowo-Gibran, which is around Rp15,000 per child. Although it has been budgeted at Rp15,000 per child, Airlangga has not disclosed the areas that will implement the free lunch and milk program for these children. The same goes for the menu that will be provided to each party in the region.
