Dream - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto speaks out about the source of funds for the free lunch simulation activity at SMP Negeri 2 Curug, Tangerang today, Thursday, February 29, 2024. Airlangga mentioned that the budget for the free lunch program simulation of Rp15,000 at SMP Negeri 2 Curug, Tangerang, comes from the local government acting as volunteers.

"He ensures that the simulation activity of the free lunch program by Prabowo-Gibran does not use the state budget (APBN). 'The budget comes from the local government, not from the state budget. It is a volunteer program, and anyone who wants to try this program first,' said Airlangga, as quoted from merdeka.com."

Regarding the location of the free lunch simulation, Airlangga justified that the selection of SMP Negeri 2 Curug, Tangerang is a form of volunteerism from the local government. The government itself has opened a volunteer scheme for all local governments who want to participate in the free lunch program simulation. "Because this is volunteerism, the government opens up the model for anyone who wants to create this volunteer," he said.

However, Airlangga is not yet willing to disclose other schools that will be the venue for the next Prabowo-Gibran free lunch program simulation. He mentioned that the government will wait for the readiness of each regional government as volunteers. "We haven't monitored yet, but I received an invitation from Tangerang Regency, so I am present here," he concluded.
