Cut the number of commissionersPreviously, Garuda Indonesia had planned to reduce the number of commissioners as a form of efficiency. This step is an effort to save state-owned airlines from debt bondage of IDR 70 trillion.
SOE Minister Erick Thohir said that the reduction would be made up to three commissioners. In fact, the shareholders proposed that there be only two commissioners.
Erick said that the steps to reduce commissioners will be carried out as soon as possible. In fact, the target will be carried out within the next two weeks, either through the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) scheme or other schemes.
"What is proposed (reducing commissioners) is very good, we must praise it, even I want to propose later if possible only two Garuda commissioners," he said at a press conference at the Ministry of SOEs Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 2.
Erick said that reduction measures among the company's top brass also needed to be carried out in line with the early retirement program for Garuda employees. According to him, this step is taken so that there is efficiency in the burden of official salaries and at the same time justice for all workers.
"Not earlier, for example, there was an early retirement but the commissioners were not reduced, we will reduce them later. So I think later the number will be reduced by, for example, two or three people. We will do it as soon as possible," he said.
