Indonesia arrests the former head of President Prabowo Subianto’s flagship free-meal programme as authorities investigate reported food poisoning linked to the scheme. Multiple reports say the programme has been scrutinised after allegations that the meals have made children ill. As of April, the reported number of affected children is at least 33,000, according to the accounts cited by both outlets. Authorities move against the former programme leader following governance and oversight concerns raised during the investigation. Separately, President Prabowo has removed the head of the free-meals agency, citing concerns about governance. The developments add to broader scrutiny of how the programme is managed and monitored, particularly regarding food safety. The reports do not provide further details in the summaries about charges, the scale of specific incidents, or the current status of the investigation. The arrests and leadership changes are presented as part of efforts to address the alleged health impact on children and to clarify responsibilities within the programme’s administration.
