JAKARTA - The DPR's Hearing Meeting (RDP) on steel imports that resulted in the expulsion of PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk's President Director Silmy Karim, by the Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR, Bambang Haryadi, received the attention of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi).
Hipmi, who has been highlighting the issue of steel imports, asked Krakatau Steel not to become a scapegoat in the issue of steel imports. According to the Head of the Banking and Finance Division of the Central Executive Board (BPP), Hipmi Anggawira.
"It is better to hold another RDP and invite steel business players and other parties," said Anggawira in a written statement, Tuesday, February 15.
According to Anggawira, this step was taken so that the information conveyed could be clearer. Anggawira added that all parties should also appreciate the performance of Krakatau Steel which shows positive progress.
"Don't let this high level of steel imports continue, Krakatau Steel is used as a scapegoat for this import problem," said Anggawira.
Finally, Anggawira said that in order to immediately conduct a re-RDP to be able to find a solution to this problem, don't blame each other and discuss wisely not to offend each other.
As is known, President Director KS Silmy Karim is considered to have no respect for the technicalities of the DPR trial, because it cuts off questions from members of the council.
The Hearing Meeting (RDP) with the DPR Commission in charge of Energy at that time discussed the progress of the smelter construction in South Kalimantan, the stalled blast furnace project, and explanations regarding steel imports.
In the meeting, the government was represented by the Ministry of Industry's Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics Industries, Taufiek Bawazier.
