"For us, the market operation in the flat and given to Jakarta Smart Card (KJP) holder is giving the adequacy of nutrition for children," said Jakarta Governor, Basuki T Purnama, at City Hall, Tuesday (6/14).
He wants every child could eat one kilogram of meat per month. Because, all this time, nutrition for Jakartans is deemed still low. "Minimally, per capita meat eating for children can touch one kilogram per month," he expressed.
