Erick emphasized that he would complete his duties as Minister of SOEs until his term of office was completed in October.

Saya sampai Oktober ini masih ada target (proyek strategis BUMN) dari 88, yang belum selesai 9. Itu yang kita fokuskan penyelesaiannya. Jadi saya belum mau ya ke kanan, kiri, saya coba menyelesaikan tugas dulu, katanya.
