Criticism Of The Red Plate Company, Prabowo Calls There Is A BUMN Boss Keenakan Because He Has A Backing

Presidential Candidate (Capres) number 02 Prabowo Subianto criticized the performance of state-owned enterprises (BUMN).

He said, there are people who are too comfortable to be in the chair of a state-owned company because they have backing.

Initially, Prabowo said that when he served as Minister of Defense and wanted to build a hospital and also a military campus. He also contacted the state-owned company to work on the project.

However, Prabowo admitted that he was surprised by the price offered by state-owned companies. He considered the figure too high. According to him, state-owned companies often set a fairly high price because they felt they had backing.

"Sometimes BUMNs are sorry, right, sometimes the leadership of SOEs is cool, maybe they are installed there because there are backings, right, there are sponsors, we have been Indonesians for a long time, right. Can I talk about what it is, "he said in the Presidential Candidate Dialogue 02 Prabowo Subianto with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), at the Djakarta Theater, Friday, January 12.

Prabowo also made a comparison. He admitted that contacting the private sector and the price offered was much different from that of SOEs. In fact, Prabowo said the work time was faster than the SOEs offered.

"Privates that the price is a lot cheaper, the time is faster and the private sector wants it if we chase it a little bit, I need a few months," he said.

With various considerations, Prabowo also admitted that he chose the private sector to work on the hospital project to the military campus.

"I want to give it to SOEs, just how much longer it takes, the price is high, I give it to the private sector. I will appoint the private sector, so that's the goods. I think the hospital, military hospital, is the largest in Southeast Asia. 1,000 beds, 136 ICUs, 26 floors, what is being carried out is the private sector," he explained.

Prabowo invites ministries or institutions to cooperate with SOEs and the private sector. From this experience, Prabowo considered that the most important thing was not BUMN or private sector. However, the goal to be achieved. According to him, healthy competition during transpran.

Swasta monggo, BUMN work right, right. The directors are not right, they won't be replaced, the KPK. The KPK is not right, the Prosecutor's Office. We are competing, competition is good, please compete, efficiency, transparency, quality, please," he said.
