JAKARTA - President Director of PT Timah Tbk (TINS) Ahmad Dani Virsal opened his voice about the management of five tin smelters that had been confiscated by the Attorney General's Office (AGO) related to tin cases.

Ahmad said the shift in the management of five smelters was still in process and his party ensured that they would assist the Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of SOEs.

"We will be ready to assist the prosecutor's office, what the prosecutor's office has done today is coordinating with the Ministry of SOEs, in this case the Deputy for Law and we are also helping to access what is available and how later we will also continue to discuss with the BUMN prosecutor's team and ministries," he told the media crew quoted on Thursday, May 9.

Regarding the readiness of PT Timah, Ahmad said that the party was still collecting data related to the technical condition of the smelters. The reason is that the five smelters have long stopped operating so that an in-depth study needs to be carried out.

"As we understand that the smelter has stopped for a long time, so we need more access to what is needed and how the technical conditions are and so on. To be able to operate there are many requirements," he explained.

Meanwhile, regarding the human resources that will be used to process these smelters, he said that his party was still unable to confirm whether to summon former employees who were laid off or would take new human resources.

"Not yet. Later what we will do is assess the conditions and we will also see how the economy is in addition to the legality," he concluded.
