Indonesia’s head of the government’s free meals program resigns, according to reports. The resignation comes about 45 days after the official took over the role, which is tied to Indonesia’s multi-billion-dollar nutrition initiative. Sources say the departure follows a period of leadership instability within the agency administering the program.
Reporting in this case notes that the resignation is the second leadership change within less than two months. The immediate predecessor had been removed earlier amid corruption-related allegations, and the role was subsequently filled by the current official. The latest resignation therefore marks another shift in the program’s top leadership shortly after a prior change.
Across the available accounts, the main points are the timing of the resignation, the fact that it follows a recent appointment, and that it is part of a rapid sequence of leadership transitions connected to the nutrition agency and the free meals scheme. The reports focus on the administrative changes rather than providing detailed information on the reasons for the resignation or any new findings related to wrongdoing.
