JAKARTA - Director General (Dirjen) of State Assets of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Rionald Silaban responded coldly to the plan of PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada Tbk (CMNP) who wanted to file a lawsuit against him.

Jusuf Hamkan's company's legal steps surfaced after the company held an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) on Thursday last week.

"No comment!" Rionald told VOI when confirmed at his office, Tuesday, June 20.

Prior to that, Rionald revealed that he worked in accordance with applicable procedures and regulations.

It is stated that this is in line with the main duties of the Directorate General of State Assets in charge of collecting debts to parties who have obligations to the government.

This attitude is also an affirmation if he is not mandated to answer the payment request intended by Jusuf Hamka Cs.

"It's my job to withdraw my debt (debt), not make payments," he said.

In previous VOI reports, CMNP's lawsuit was not only against the Director General of State Assets of the Ministry of Finance Rionald Silaban but also to the Special Staff (Stafsus) of the Minister of Finance Yustinus Prastowo.

Yustinus himself stated that what was informed to the public was based on data and documents owned by the government.

"PT CMNP, Bank Yama, and three related entities that have debts to banks that are included in the government's restructuring program through BLBI are connected by Mrs. Siti Hardianti Rukmana (SHR)," Yustinus told the editor.

"If Mr. Jusuf Hamka objected and felt aggrieved, of course, he had the right to report it to the police. Although we hope that the additional explanation given by the Ministry of Finance is enough to answer what he wants," he added.

Most recently, Yustinus is known to have had a meeting with Jusuf Hamka. He shared the information by uploading a photo with the entrepreneur on his Instagram social media page.

We have been friends and know each other for a long time. We laughed at the misunderstanding that occurred, then built understanding and understanding," he said at @prastowoyustinus earlier this week.

Based on information compiled by the editors, this problem started with the government having to pay CMNP deposits and giro at Bank Yakin Makmur (Yama) of IDR 78.84 billion and IDR 76.09 billion, respectively.

Meanwhile, Bank Yama was taken over by the government in line with the provision of Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) in 1998.

Meanwhile, CMNP itself is considered affiliated with Bank Yama so that the funds have to be frozen.

On January 15, 2010, the Supreme Court (MA) decided that the government should pay the deposit provided that it would pay an additional 2 percent fine every month until the payment was paid off.

Over time, the government then negotiated with CMNP to agree that debt payments were made without interest or fines.

Jusuf Hamka's company objected, until finally both parties agreed with a value of IDR 179.5 billion.

However, until now Jusuf Hamka and PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada have not felt that they have received the rights promised by the government.
