Based on his calculations, even if twice the amount of Rp71 trillion was spent, it would not reach Rp 300 trillion. \"We will see what can be made more efficient. We will channel the funds elsewhere if possible,\" he said in Tangerang, Banten, on Thursday, February 5, 2025.He stated that this step was taken while ensuring that President Prabowo Subianto's flagship program would continue to run optimally. \"The goal is not to hinder the MBG program but to move towards greater efficiency.\"The substantial 2026 MBG budget is used to pursue a target of 82.9 million beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance reported that the realization of the MBG budget on December 31, 2025, was only 72.5 percent of the target, meaning only Rp51 trillion was absorbed throughout the year.Read: Key Points of Lawsuit Over Free Meals in Education FundsClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2613676673","isCrawlerRequest":true}
