JAKARTA - Yovie Widianto in his official statement supported the audit of the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) and the Collective Management Institute (LMK) for a more transparent performance.

The Presidential Special Staff for Creative Economy said that he had voiced the impetus for transparency since last year within the Federation of Indonesian Musician Unions (FESMI) and many other forums.

"Since last year, I have conveyed this impetus for transparency within the FESMI organization and various forums between creators and musicians," Yovie said, through an official statement to VOI, Friday, August 15.

"At that time I proposed an audit by a public accountant to a forensic audit at LMK and LMKN, if needed," he continued.

A few months ago, Yovie and his fellow composer who are currently members of the House of Representatives (DPR), Melly Goeslaw, also conveyed the same thing when they met one of the great LMKs.

As a person who has been in the music industry for decades, Yovie clearly has high hopes for improving royalty governance in Indonesia, especially since the new commissioner has been appointed to LMKN.

"The momentum for the formation of a new LMKN commissioner and the presence of Permenkum 27 of 2025 can be a foothold for optimal improvements for existing LMK-LMK, as well as a burning spirit for the new LMKN," concluded the Kahitna frontman.
