JAKARTA - PT Varuna Tirta Prakasya (Persero) or VTP is one of six sick State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) that is threatened that cannot be saved or disbanded. The company is currently a patient at PT Perusahaan Pengelolaan Asset (PPA).

President Director of PT Varuna Tirta Prakasya (Persero) or VTP Adi Nugroho opened their voices about the news. He admitted that he had never been talked to regarding the plan to dissolve the company he leads.

"VTP is currently accompanied by issues of dissolution, where previously we from management have never been asked or spoken to regarding this," he said in a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR RI, quoted Wednesday, July 3.

Adi admitted that his party is still preparing the Company's Long-Term Plan (RJPP) for the next five years. In fact, he is also optimistic that the company's performance will improve in the future.

"Some time before we are still compiling the RJPP for the next 5 years. We are still optimistic that it will grow," he said.

In addition, Adi also said that his company is proposing state capital participation (PMN) in the form of inbreng state-owned goods (BMN) in a plot of land and office buildings worth Rp23 billion.

Adi hopes that the granting of these assets will help Varuna Tirta Prakasya's company perform better in the future. Especially related to financial performance.

"Hopefully, the existence of PMPP (central government capital participation) will be a turning point for VTP, which previously had an issue of wanting to close it, it would be a step forward in the future," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the President Director of PT Danareksa (Persero) Yadi Jaya Ruchandi revealed that currently PT Perusahaan Pengelola Asset (PPA) is handling 14 sick SOEs. Six of them are in danger of being saved or being rehabilitated.

"The minimum potential for the operation is actually more than likely we will stop. Whether through liquidation or disbandment of SOEs, it seems that the destination is there," he said at a hearing meeting (RDP) for the BUMN Restructuring and Restructuring Committee, at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Monday, June 24.
