JAKARTA - Candidate for Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Mahendra Siregar rejects the notion that OJK has been able to operate because it has received financial support from financial industry players.
He emphasized this in the fit and proper test with the House of Representatives Commission XI today.
"We don't agree that people who work at OJK are financed by the industry (finance), I don't think so," he said through a virtual channel, Wednesday, April 6.
According to Mahendra, OJK works according to the applicable laws. He also explained that these regulations are binding and must be obeyed appropriately.
"Everything is mandated by law. We as citizens or legal entities must obey. And that doesn't mean we owe it to those who pay the dues, we don't. Because the process is actually in the law and it is clear that the implementation is in Commission XI itself, which includes the approval of the budget," he said.
Furthermore, Mahendra, who is also listed as Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenlu), encourages closer collaboration with partners in parliament.
"For this reason, the process for accountability, performance accountability in the context of the role of Commission XI to the OJK is increasingly being matured. So that in the future there will be comprehensive accountability in the system based on the law so that we can improve confidence, "said Mahendra.
According to VOI records, the entire OJK budget for the 2021 fiscal year approved by the DPR is IDR 6.21 trillion.
