JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir spoke about the existence of Ministry of Finance officials who are concurrently serving as commissioners of state-owned companies. Erick admitted that he had no problem with it.

Erick said that concurrent positions are not something that is prohibited from the law. Therefore, he could not have a problem with it.

Furthermore, Erick also requested that the dual position of ministry officials in state-owned companies not be seen as ugly.

"The position is not bad. The laws are allowed, unless the law is not allowed. Now that's part of the process. As long as the rules don't blame, I can't intervene," he told reporters, written Friday, March 10.

Erick does not deny that there are many ministerial representatives in various state-owned companies. Apart from the Ministry of Finance, said Erick, there are also representatives of other ministries.

"For example, PT Pos is part of distributing social assistance. Can the Minister of Social Affairs check? Must. He wants to check, if there is representation, that's okay. It's as a check and balance, it's okay," he explained.

Even so, Erick emphasized that ministerial representatives who serve as state-owned companies must work properly.

"And I'm not closing my eyes, the important thing is that the representatives of BUMN must work properly. Otherwise, I have the right to remove it," he said.
