JAKARTA - The customer restructuring offer for PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) or Jiwasraya has been completed on May 31. Until this deadline, not all Jiwasraya customers have agreed to the restructuring proposal proposed by the company. There are still customers who refuse to agree to the agreement even though the number is not as much as those who agree.

Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir claimed that 98 percent of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya's customers agreed to the policy restructuring. However, Erick did not specify how many retail and corporate customers had agreed to the restructuring.

"Alhamdulillah, almost 98 percent of (customers) have agreed to the restructuring. Sorry, here we are the Ministry of SOEs and all directors of Jiwasraya will do their best to find a solution, which has been a problem long before we took the lead," said Erick, in Jakarta, Wednesday , June 2nd.

Erick emphasized that the rescue of the state-owned insurance company would be carried out transparently. Not only that, the Ministry of SOEs in an effort to save the company and its customers has also received support from the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), the Ministry of Finance, the Attorney General, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Politics, Law and Human Rights (Menkopolhukam).

Eradication of corruption in the state environment continues to be carried out

Erick emphasized that efforts to eradicate corruption in state-owned companies will continue to be carried out. The reason is that in addition to the case of policy failure at Jiwasraya, PT Asuransi Sosial Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia (Persero) or Asabri also experienced the same thing.

As is known, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) detailed the state losses due to corruption at Rp22.78 trillion. The corruption was carried out by related parties in the management of stock and mutual fund investments.

"Now we will tidy up the pension funds of BUMN employees who were also robbed yesterday. This is part of the clean-up that was carried out. This is not arrogance but empathy and partiality that must be done," he said.

As is known, the corruption case of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya is estimated to cause state losses of Rp. 16.8 trillion. Six defendants have been named in this case, including former Jiwasraya Managing Director (Director) Hendrisman Rahim and former Jiwasraya Finance and Investment Division Head Syahmirwan and former Jiwasraya Finance Director Hary Prasetyo.

In addition, there are also private parties, namely President Director of PT Hanson International Tbk Benny Tjokrosaputro, President Commissioner of PT Trada Alam Minera (TRAM) Tbk Heru Hidayat, and Director of PT Maxima Integra Joko Hartono Tirto.
