Indonesia Spends Little on Prabowo's Free Meals Program
The Indonesian government is running a program to give free meals to students and pregnant women.
By June, they had spent about $270 million.
However, this is only a small part of the money they planned to spend this year.
Some people are worried because the government has a limited budget.
Also, there have been some problems, such as food poisoning in certain areas.
The program started in January and is still working to provide free meals.
Indonesia spent 4.4 trillion rupiah ($270.35 million) on Prabowo's free meals program by June 12.
The spending represents 2.6% of this year's allocated budget.
The free meals program was launched in January.
