JAKARTA - The Ministry of SOEs has confirmed that imports of the former Japanese Electric Rail Train (KRL) will still be discussed.
Although the results of the BPKP review recommend that the government reconsider the import plan.
Special Staff to the Minister of SOEs Arya Sinulingga said that the BPKP recommendation could not be concluded as a final decision.
According to him, the results of the review must be seen thoroughly.
"We haven't got the report yet because we haven't got the details, which is not agreed upon by the BPKP. For example, because we haven't got it yet, we can't draw any conclusions yet," said Arya when met at the Ministry of SOEs building, Wednesday, April 5.
For your information, the results of the BPKP recommendation have been submitted to the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
Arya said the decision whether or not to import trains from other countries should be agreed upon by a number of technical ministries.
Therefore, the government will discuss this discourse on imports again so that they can get a middle ground.
(The agreement) is all, everything must be a meeting. The final decision is in the government. We follow everything, we recalculate everything," he said.
Separately, Deputy Minister of BUMN II Kartika Wirjoatmodjo said there had been no decision on whether the plan to import a former KRL from Japan would be canceled.
The reason, he said, this decision must be considered properly.
"I don't know yet (it was canceled), we don't know yet. Because I haven't seen the report yet. Because we have to see this is important, so there are two, both are running," he said.
Tiko, Kartika's nickname, explained that the KRL import plan was based on the need in terms of capacity.
On the other hand, also consider the ability of PT INKA.
"We understand the need for accelerated imports because there is a need in terms of capacity. But also on the other hand, we also want the expansion of INKA's ability to improve quality. Yes, we are looking for a midpoint," he said.
Therefore, Tiko continued, his party will first discuss with BPKP the results of the review and recommendations for the plan to import a former KRL from Japan.
"We are still waiting for what BPKP findings we can control. It's possible whether there is a maintenance issue, whether it's a spare part problem. I haven't seen it yet," he explained.
