JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Finance is facing the House of Representatives (DPR) to fulfill the administrative procedure for the elimination of State Property (BMN) in the form of the KRI Teluk Sampit warship.
The delegation from the Ministry of Finance was led by Deputy Minister of Finance, Suahasil Nazara, accompanied by Director General of State Assets, Rionald Silaban.
"The sales consideration is the condition of the ship's material being heavily damaged and the machinery, electricity, navigation equipment, communications, and ship bridge instruments can no longer be used", said the Deputy Minister of Finance in a meeting with Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives which was broadcast virtually, Thursday, March 24.
According to the representative from Sri Mulyani, the study has been carried out from an economic perspective, as it is not economical to repair. Then, if it is not immediately abolished, there will be a decrease in the value of the goods and reduce the availability of berths for ships at the pier.
"So this is being sold because there is potential for state revenue to be included in the form of PNBP (non-tax state revenue)", she said.
