JAKARTA - The Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Erick Thohir, will dissolve three state-owned companies that have not operated for a long time. He is also committed to resolving the staffing problems of the three disbanded companies.

The three companies he disbanded were PT Industri Sandang Nusantara (Persero), PT Kertas Kraft Aceh (Persero), and PT Industri Glass (Persero) or Iglas.

Erick said that for the Glass Industry itself, the staffing problem had been resolved since last year. Precisely in September 2021.

"Alhamdulillah, I also appreciate Danareksa and PPA. Here Pak Ari and Pak Yadi can also resolve the 429 staffing issues for Iglas, which has been completed in September 2021," he said in a virtual press conference, Thursday, March 17.

According to Erick, the staffing of the other two SOEs will also be resolved soon.

"And of course, as our responsibility, we are the leaders who have been given the mandate. Of course, for the other two companies, we will also resolve it well," he said.

Erick said that SOEs continue to open up job opportunities. According to Erick, his party has recruited at least 7,351 people in state-owned companies.

"But of course we are also in SOEs with good consolidation and continue to open up work agreements. Young people who can be a part of transitioning SOEs to the future," he said.
