JAKARTA - COO Danantara Indonesia Dony Oskaria was seen present at the Jakarta State Palace. Dong was seen wearing formal clothes in a black suit combined with a light blue tie and a black cap.

Dony arrived at the State Palace at 14.20 WIB, along with his wife. Reportedly, Dony was present to take part in the inauguration as Head of the BUMN Regulatory Agency (BP).

When confirmed, Dony admitted that he did not know for sure. Because, he just got a call from Cabinet Secretary Minister Teddy Indra Wijaya.

"I don't know yet, this has just been called by Mr. Seskab," he said at the State Palace, Wednesday, October 8.

Previously, the status of the Ministry of SOEs 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).

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 that the change was also intended so that SOEs 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 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.

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.

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.
