JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives Abdul Hakim Bafagih appreciated the courage of the Minister for State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir in relation to his policy of reshaping the ranks of commissioners and directors of BUMN.

Abdul Hakim Bafagih assessed that Erick had shown his professionalism during his tenure as Minister of BUMN. Despite the many criticisms of the policy, including pressure to change his position as Minister of BUMN, it is hoped that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will not need to listen to external pressure.

"Erick Thohir's track record as a businessman is clear and he has finished his worldly affairs. During his tenure as minister he has made a lot of buzz. Maybe that's what made other parties uncomfortable with his leadership," said Hakim who is also Chairman of the Faction Group (Kapoksi). ) F-PAN Commission VI DPR RI was curated from Antara, Monday, November 2.

The judge hoped that Erick Tohir's leadership could be continued until it was finished. His work has shown a fairly positive trend. Erick is also expected to be more accommodating for young people and women to fill important posts in BUMN.

"From the start of office there has been a lot of pressure on him, but if we see the results so far on a positive track," said Hakim.

The President of the Persik Kediri club also hopes that Erick Tohir can remain consistent in fixing BUMN-BUMN to be even better, despite the tremendous pressure that continues to be directed at him.

BUMN Minister Erick Thohir in a video uploaded to the Karni Ilyas Club YouTube account, explaining about his breakthrough in cleaning up BUMN since President Jokowi was appointed Minister by President Jokowi.

According to him, the replacement of the board of directors during his tenure was not based on likes or dislikes but was part of the BUMN transformation roadmap going forward. Performance figures according to the Key Performance Index (KPI) will be retained.

Erick also added that when a person holds a position, he must always be ready, whether appointed or removed. Like him, who served as Minister of BUMN, who became assistant to the President must also be prepared for this.
