JAKARTA - The Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi responded to the issue of Mukhamad Misbakhun, who is currently the Chairman of Commission XI of the DPR, entering the exchange of candidates for the Chairman of the Financial Services Authority (DK OJK) Commissioner Board.

Prasetyo explained that the definitive chairman of the OJK DK is currently undecided, because the selection committee (pansel) is still working to find potential candidate names and schedule the stages of selection for them.

"There is no (name of the chairman of the OJK DK who is determined, ed.) yet, there is no new formation of the pansel (selection committee, ed.)," said Minister of Law and Human Rights Prasetyo Hadi as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 10.

So far, there are several names that have been included in the list of candidates for the chairman of the OJK Board. However, Pras has not been able to reveal the names of the potential candidates. Several candidates, Pras continued, come from the Ministry of Finance.

When asked about his expectations for the new chairman of the OJK Board of Commissioners, Pras explained that he hoped that the new definitive head of the Financial Services Authority would master his field.

"Hopefully, we must succeed in finding the head of OJK who is really, one, clear, mastering his field, the second, must understand that OJK's role is very important in maintaining our financial ecosystem so that events like yesterday, our exchange has a little problem, it does not happen again," said Prasetyo Hadi.

The Financial Services Authority is currently headed by an interim official (pjs), considering that the appointment of the new definitive commissioner board chairman must go through the stages of the election organized by the selection committee.

Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, when asked by reporters in Jakarta, Friday (6/2) last week, explained that the mechanism for selecting the OJK leadership must be in accordance with the mandate of the Law because it is directly related to the integrity of the management of the financial market and the preparation of regulations in the financial services sector. Therefore, compliance with the rules is considered important to maintain the credibility of the selection process and the credibility of the OJK leadership that is elected.

"We actually have to follow the existing law, because it is related to our integrity in managing the market and regulations there. If we violate the existing law, it will interfere with our own credibility, the credibility of the results of the panel later, or the credibility of the results of the OJK chairman later," said Purbaya.
