Spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance (Minister of Finance) Yustinus Prastowo revealed that his party had pocketed the names of 134 employees of the Directorate General of Taxes (Directorate General of Taxes) who owned shares in a closed company on behalf of their wives.

Yustinus explained that the intention of a closed company is a company that is not listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).

"Itjen sudah menerima ( nama pegawai) hari Jumat siang kemarin, sedang kami analisis saat ini," ujar Yustinus kepada media, Senin, 13 Maret.

He said that his party was ensuring the suitability of the names and businesses they had, because there was no prohibition in the law stating that the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) should not have a side business.

"We also have to be careful here because according to the rules there is no real ban. Civil servants do business, the important thing is to inform and report and also to maintain no conflict of interest and abuse of power," explained Yustinus.

He emphasized that ASN may run various types of businesses other than being employees of the Ministry of Finance as long as they report their business to their direct superiors.
