JAKARTA - Special Staff (Stafsus) of the Minister of SOEs Arya Sinulingga said that the progress of the integration of BUMN works, PT Hutama Karya (Persero) and PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk are currently still ongoing. The integration is targeted for completion this year.

Later, after the integration is complete, continued Arya, Waskita Karya will become a subsidiary of Hutama Karya (HK).

"It's a process, it's going on, it's starting to start, they're all doing it again, it's not a merger, below it. The target should be completed this year," he said at the Ministry of SOEs, Jakarta, Thursday, July 18.

Arya also said that in the interrogation process a thorough audit was carried out, covering the asset side.

With this integration, continued Arya, it is hoped that the BUMN business will become healthy.

"Because of this, when we do it, we have to audit it, everything is audited. Everything is audited, then later when we become HK's child there will be consequences for HK, finance and so on," he explained.

"But what is certain is that, this is the key, that way, then if the tenders are in PU, or in government, they will be healthier," he continued.

According to Arya, previously between SOEs, Karya was fighting over each other's projects, even selling prices.

Finally, BUMN Karya did not get a good advantage.

Therefore, the Ministry of SOEs decided to integrate the existing work BUMB.

"So that there are no more tender complaints, all out. They slammed the price that made them lose. That's also what makes the construction industry unhealthy," he explained.
