JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir admitted that he would immediately follow up on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) report related to the level of compliance with the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) of six bad state-owned companies.

The six SOEs in question are PT Pembangunan Pariwisata Indonesia (ITDC); PT Aviasi Wisata Indonesia (Persero) or InJourney; PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero); PT Dok and Surabaya Shipship (DPS); PT Boma Bisma Indra (BBI) and PT Indah Karya.

Erick admitted that he deeply regretted this and would take firm action against SOEs who did not comply with LHKP. The reason is, this is something that is mandatory.

"I really regret it. Because even though the KPK has talked about 99.5 percent reporting, but there are several SOEs, 6 if I'm not mistaken, I will follow up. I have spoken to Sesmen and Deputys to take firm action. Because this is something I have obliged," Erick told reporters, Tuesday, July 25.

Erick also reminded the Board of Commissioners and Directors of SOEs to be transparent. One of them is by obediently reporting LHKPN.

He said there was no need to hide anything while serving as a high-ranking official at a state-owned company.

"If the minister just reports, when his subordinates don't report it. Is someone being attacked?," he said.

Erick said that his party will continue to coordinate with law enforcement agencies, in this case the KPK and the Attorney General's Office, to oversee the performance of SOEs.

"Yes, I have asked Sesmen to convey and usually the KPK we already have an agreement, we have coordinated, I thank the KPK for remembering us," he said.
