Erick Thohir Is Intensive In Carrying Out The BUMN Cleaning Movement, What Are The Impacts?

JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir continues to carry out the clean-up movement of state-owned companies during his leadership.

This step was taken to improve the business of state-owned companies to make them even better.

Then, what is the impact of cleaning this state-owned company?

Constitutional and Constitutional Law Expert at the Indonesian Muslim University of Makassar Fahri Bachmid said that in principle, Erick Thohir's clean-up step was an appropriate and constructive instrumental policy.

However, Fahri said, this step will further produce a sharper impact if it is accompanied by internal improvements in SOEs.

"This means that if you need repressive steps, reporting so that law enforcement officers (APH) take and enforce the law as a treatment to make SOEs healthy is good, but it is necessary and important for the minister to create and organize the internal control system of SOEs," said Fahri, Thursday, October 5.

With the arrangement of the BUMN internal control system, said Fahri, a credible system within the Ministry of SOEs and SOEs has been established, even though in the future the ministers have changed.

"The goal is that all leaks and deviations or state financial irregularities can be addressed and resolved. All can be realized if the minister or president is able to create a credible and clean institutional work system," concluded Fahri.

Before being reported, SOE Minister Erick Thohir continued to clean up SOEs. Most recently, Erick brought the audit results for certain purposes at the Pension Fund at four state-owned companies to the Attorney General's Office.

The audit conducted by the Financial and Development Regulation Agency (BPKP) indicated that there was a state loss of around Rp. 300 billion.

The four problematic pension funds are managed by PT Angkasa Pura I (AP I), PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN), PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (RNI)/ID FOOD, and PT Inhutani.

"Obviously from the results of the audit with a certain purpose, there was a state loss of Rp. 300 billion and this has not been thoroughly opened by BPKP and the Prosecutor's Office," he said.

However, state losses could be even greater because BPKP has only audited 10 percent of the four samples.

"This means that this number can be even bigger," said Erick.
