JAKARTA - The Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) revealed that it has completed the audit process of seven problematic pension funds (dappen). Four of them are said to be saved.

The audit of the problem dapen was asked directly by the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir, as an effort to clean up SOEs.

Deputy for BPKP Investigation, Agustina Arumsari said that of the seven BUMN dapen audited by BPKP, three of them were indicated corruption, and four of them could still be saved.

"The others are relatively well-reparable. We can still fix this if the legal action is what is the last resort," Agustina said at a press conference in Jakarta, Thursday, February 1.

Causes Of Troubled Dapen

Agustina explained that the problems experienced by the seven SOEs were due to a decrease in the quality of funding. Thus, the seven of them could not fulfill their obligation to pay retired BUMN employees.

"There is a financing deficit, there has been a decrease in the quality of funding, so it is indeed quite difficult for them to fulfill their obligations to fulfill their obligations to retired BUMN employees in their respective places," he said.

The details of the seven problematic SOEs, as follows:

- PT Perkebunan Nusantara Retirement Fund (PTPN) - PT Angkasa Pura I (AP I) pension fund - PT Inhutani pension fund - PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (RNI) - PT Kimia Farma pension fund - PT Krakatau Steel pension fund

Port and Dredging Company (DP4) pension funds at PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) or Pelindo.

Previously, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) had named six suspects in the alleged corruption case of the Pelindo Port and Dredging Company Dapen (DP4). The case occurred in the period 2013 to 2019.
