JAKARTA - Entrepreneurs and sons of conglomerate Aburizal Bakrie, Anindya Bakrie, have been officially appointed as General Chair (Ketum) of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) through the Extraordinary National Conference or Munaslub.

The moment was uploaded by Anindya Bakrie in her Instagram account video @anindyabakrie.

In his speech, the man who is familiarly called Anin expressed his gratitude to a number of figures, including the Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani, Chairman of the MPR Bambang Soesatyo, to his father Aburizal Bakrie.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Thank you of course to the high-ranking officials. Here is the Chairman of the MPR (Bambang Soesatyo), the Minister of Investment (Rosan Roeslani), there are father and all of them," he said, Saturday, September 14, 2024.

According to Anin, in this initial process there will be many challenges faced. However, he hopes to become the General Chair of Kadin for all, not only for the people who vote for him.

"Finally, I hope to become a Ketum not only for those who voted for me this afternoon, but for all of them," he said.

On the same day, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Board of Management emphasized that the holding of the Munaslub was a violation of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Articles of Association (AD/ART) which was ratified through Presidential Decree (Keppres) Number 18 of 2022.

Moreover, a number of Kadin Provinces and Extraordinary Members (ALB) did not meet the requirements to propose the implementation of the Munaslub.

The rejection of the violation of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's AD/ART rules has also been voiced by the majority of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Navy members of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

A total of 21 out of 35 Kadin Provinces throughout Indonesia have refused and stated that the holding of the Munaslub violates the rules of the organization that have been mutually agreed upon.

The chairman of the North Maluku Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Umar Lessy, expressed his support for Arsjad Rasjid's leadership even though he had given up his position some time ago.

"The Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Arsjad Rasjid, has received approval to be temporarily unable to be approved by all Chairmans of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Extraordinary Association," said Umar.

"This is in accordance and does not violate the provisions of Article 5 of Law no. 1 of 1987 concerning Kadin in conjunction with Article 14 AD Kadin. We believe that this decision was taken to maintain the neutrality and integrity of the Kadin organization," he continued.
