The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) has confirmed that it will continue to import used electric rail (KRL) from Japan, although the recommendation of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) advises the government to reconsider this plan.
This was conveyed by Deputy Minister of BUMN II Kartika Wirjoatmodjo in a meeting with Commission VI of the DPR, Wednesday, April 12.
Tiko, Kartika's nickname, admitted that there was a buildup during peak hours when he left for work or came home from work, such as 06.00 to 08.00 and 17.00 to 19.00 WIB.
Responding to this, the Ministry of Industry said that it was following the recommendations issued by BPKP.
"Right, the Minister has said this, we don't know the term emergency imports. Once again, as stated by the Minister of Industry, Mr. Agus Gumiwang, we stand by the coordination meeting agreement with the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries that the results of the BPKP review are the benchmarks," said Ministry of Industry spokesman Febri Hendri Antoni to reporters at the Ministry of Industry Building, Jakarta, Friday, April 28.
According to Febri, the results of the recommendations issued by BPKP are based on the results of their review in the field.
"The BPKP review shows something different about the cause of the accumulation of passengers," he said.

Furthermore, said Febri, his party has not yet received more detailed information from the Ministry of SOEs to import it.
"To our knowledge, there has been no further discussion from SOEs to the Ministry of Industry," he said.
Therefore, Febri emphasized that his party would follow the recommendations issued by BPKP, namely not to import used trains.
"So, together with BPKP, we recommend certain things, that's what we follow. We don't understand whether the emergency imports exist or not in the laws and regulations," he concluded.
