JAKARTA - The status of the Ministry of SOEs has officially changed to the Regulation Agency (BP) in line with the inauguration of the Draft Law (RUU) on the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN).

Deputy Chairman VI of the DPR and Chair of the Working Committee for the BUMN Bill, Andre Rosiade, said that the head of BP BUMN would be decided by President Prabowo Subianto. Because, it becomes the prerogative of the president.

"It still depends on the president. Who is appointed," he said when met at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Thursday, October 2.

Andre said the difference between the Ministry of SOEs and BP BUMN was in the supervisory function.

This function was originally in the Ministry of SOEs, after changing to a body no longer has a supervisory function.

"It's clear that the Ministry has been lowered to a body. Where the difference is only in the past that the Ministry has a supervisory function. Now the supervisory function is handed over to the Danantara Council," he said.

Previously, PANRB Minister Rini Widyantini representing President Prabowo Subianto said the government approved the BUMN Bill to be enacted into law (UU).

"With this strengthening of the legal framework, SOEs are expected to play a more strategic role as development agents as well as a healthy, competitive, and global competitive business entity," said Rini when conveying the government's final views in the 6th Plenary Meeting, at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Thursday, October 2.

Rini explained that the amendment to the BUMN Law was born from the urgency of affirming the function of regulators and operators, and strengthening governance, and providing legal certainty of the position of BUMN in state administration.

Furthermore, Rini said, the change was also intended so that BUMN would become a catalyst for development as well as an agent for inclusive and sustainable economic transformation.

"The fourth amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning SOEs is not just an administrative revision, raising a strategic step to strengthen the position of BUMN as a national economic driver as well as a welfare-oriented state policy instrument," he said.

Rini mengatakan, materi pokok dalam RUU BUMN yang disahkan meliputi transformasi kelembagaan Kementerian BUMN menjadi Badan Pengaturan BUMN (BP BUMN).

“Transformasi kelembagaan yang semula Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara menjadi Badan Pengaturan Badan Usaha Milik Negara yang disingkat BP BUMN,” ucapnya.

Selain itu, RUU BUMN juga mengatur terkait dengan masa transisi rangkap jabatan menteri dan wakil menteri di BUMN paling lama dua tahun sejak putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dibacakan.

Kemudian, juga mengatur karyawan BUMN berpeluang menduduki posisi direksi, dewan komisaris, maupun jabatan manajerial lain dengan mengedepankan kesetaraan gender.

Lalu, juga mengatur terkait perpajakan atas transaksi yang melibatkan Danantara Indonesia, holding investasi, holding operasional, entitas BUMN, maupun pihak ketiga akan diatur lebih lanjut melalui peraturan pemerintah.

Selanjutnya, sambung Rini, Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) tetap berwenang melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap BUMN sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan.

Rini menambahkan, pegawai Kementerian BUMN juga akan dialihkan menjadi pegawai BP BUMN.

“Transformasi kelembagaan, penegasan kedudukan organ dan pegawai, pengaturan dividen, perpajakan, serta kewenangan BP BUMN merupakan upaya menciptakan tata kelola yang jelas antara regulator dan operator,” ujarnya.

Rini said the main material in the BUMN Bill that was ratified included the institutional transformation of the Ministry of SOEs into the BUMN Regulation Agency (BP BUMN).

"Institutional transformation from the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises to the State-Owned Enterprises Regulation Agency, which is abbreviated as BP BUMN," he said.

In addition, the BUMN Bill also regulates the transition period for the concurrent positions of ministers and deputy ministers in BUMN no later than two years after the decision of the Constitutional Court was read.

Then, it also regulates that BUMN employees have the opportunity to occupy the position of directors, board of commissioners, and other managerial positions by prioritizing gender equality.

Then, also regulates taxation on transactions involving Indonesian Danantara, investment holding, operational holding, BUMN entities, and third parties will be further regulated through government regulations.

Furthermore, continued Rini, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) remains authorized to conduct an examination of SOEs in accordance with statutory regulations.

Rini added that employees of the Ministry of SOEs will also be transferred to BP BUMN employees.

"Institutional transformation, affirmation of the position of organs and employees, dividend regulation, taxation, and BP BUMN authority are efforts to create clear governance between regulators and operators," he said.
