Erick Thohir Reveals A Surprising Thing: Practice Of Buying And Selling Positions In BUMN, Managing Director Is Priced At Rp25 Billion

JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Erick Thohir admitted that there is a practice of buying and selling the positions of the board of directors and commissioners in state-owned companies. According to Erick, for the position of president director in BUMN, the price is around Rp25 billion.

Furthermore, Erick said that this practice occurred before he served as Minister of State-Owned Enterprises. He said, individuals who want to serve as President Director will make a deposit.

Even so, Erick was reluctant to mention the company's name and identity as he had offered a sale and purchase transaction for the position of director of a state-owned company. However, he ensured that the practice of buying and selling positions was no longer the case.

In addition, Erick's confession is at the same time a rebuttal to the accusations or issues of the PCR business that dragged his big name. Erick emphasized that if he wanted to make a profit, he could carry out a job sale and purchase transaction that was more profitable than the PCR business. However, he stressed such practices must be resisted.

"So far, I have emphasized these things the most. If I want to make a lot of money in SOEs. A lot, what is the easiest? Changing positions in SOEs, that's the highest deposit first. A director is priced Rp25 trillion once, BUMN director is big, the main director," he said, quoted from Akbar Faizal Uncersed's YouTube channel, Thursday, November 25.

Furthermore, Erick Thohir said that if the sale and purchase of positions still occurred, shareholders would immediately proceed legally or the perpetrators would be reported directly to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Erick also turned himself off from being involved in the practice.

"If you want it, then what is the context? If I am stuck buying and selling positions, then it's impossible for me to make BUMN (holding). I can catch the corrupt, it's impossible, I immediately shake the body. 'This is what we caught, he already deposited it with us "It's crazy, it's impossible," he said.
