JAKARTA - Commission VI of the House of Representatives highlighted the case of alleged fictitious investment in PT Taspen (Persero) which reached Rp1 trillion.

One of them is related to the impact of this case on the participating services at the state-owned company.

Member of Commission VI of the DPR from the PDI-P faction, Rieke Diah Pitaloka, regretted this.

Moreover, continued Rieke, the funds misused were the result of the efforts of the state civil apparatus (ASN).

There are strong indications of fictitious investments that have been busy in the news, fictitious investments of IDR 1 trillion. I ask to explain who this money is, is it workers, or those like commercial insurance. It turns out that this money is the money of workers who work for the state, from top to bottom," said Rieke in a meeting of Commission VI of the DPR with the Acting President Director of PT Taspen, at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Monday, June 24.

During the meeting, Rieke again asked for an explanation from the Acting President Director of Taspen Rony Hanityo Aprianto regarding how the investment scheme in Taspen was.

"Explain us about the scheme and the investment approval process at PT Taspen," he said.

Rieke also questioned the approval mechanism related to the involvement of PT Insight Investment Management in the alleged fictitious investment.

For your information, before serving as Acting President Director of Taspen, Rony Hanityo Aprianto has been in the position of Director of Taspen Investigation since 2020.

"How can your procedure decide, approve as an investment director, whether not through the approval of the investment director, or without the knowledge of the investment director to PT Insight Investment Management, and PT Insight Investment Management, where is the investment," he said.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission VI of the PKS Faction Nevi Zuairina questioned the impact of this case on participant services. He also asked about the company's internal evaluation.

"Recently, we have heard that the KPK said that there was a fictitious investment in Taspen in 2019 with an investment value of IDR 1 trillion, how this case would affect Taspen's services to its customers," he said.

"Repairing what kind of internal evaluation system we should have may be a kind of early warning, so that this case does not occur in the future for Taspen," he continued.

According to Nevi, the funds managed by Taspen are the mandate of state employees that must be carried out properly. Therefore, he also questioned what about the Unqualified Opinion (WTP) at PT Taspen.

"With this incident, we can get a WTP opinion, why did this happen?" he said.

Responding to questions from members of Commission VI of the DPR, Acting President Director of Taspen Rony Hanityo Aprianto admitted that he could only guess how this fictitious investment case occurred. This is because this case is being investigated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"We can only guess here. Because some of us are in the market, we can find out what the mode is like. Only until now is still being investigated by the KPK. This week several former Taspen officials were asked for information," said Rony.

Even so, Rony said that this alleged fictitious investment case occurred in 2019, when he was not yet part of PT Taspen. Therefore, Rony admitted that he could not provide a complete explanation.

"We're not there yet (Taspen), if we look at the chronological document, it's just a guess. Because we also don't know which one is right, right," said Rony.
