This Is What Erick Thohir Said When Asked About The Credit Cards Of Pertamina's Directors And Commissioners, Which Were Dismantled By Ahok

JAKARTA - SOE Minister Erick Thohir considers the steps taken by Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) to dismantle corporate credit card facilities for the board of directors and commissioners as part of his supervisory duties.

"I think this is the job of a commissioner, supervising the performance of the board of directors, I think it's legal, and this is part of the checks and balances," said Erick at Kimia Farma Matraman pharmacy, Jakarta, Monday, July 5.

But Erick believes that the directors of the SOE ministry act professionally and do not use the facility for personal gain.

"But it's not for personal gain," he said.

In addition, Erick explained, the Ministry of SOEs together with the Indonesian Human Capital Forum (FHCI) held training for directors and commissioners. The training was held because many things will change during the pandemic or after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The training was carried out so that the board of directors and commissioners learn with the changes during this pandemic.

"So, those who didn't know online before, now there are pharmacies like this, but they also have to be able to serve online. Or for example, in other business models, there is a change, which used to sell gasoline, now electricity sells too. What's the electricity for, not for lighting bulbs? , to light the house. Used a car, now imagine because it has changed, "he said.

Previously, it was widely reported that the President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok revealed that Pertamina's managers to directors and commissioners received a very large number of corporate credit card facilities.

The former governor of DKI Jakarta said that he as the President Commissioner of Pertamina received a corporate credit card facility with a limit of up to IDR 30 billion.
