JAKARTA - The suggestion by the Deputy Chairperson of the Gelora Party, Fahri Hamzah, that the DPR RI does not need to hold a meeting with the SOE directors, was responded to by members of the board. Following the excitement about the expulsion of partners in a working meeting in Parliament. Member of Commission VI DPR RI PPP faction Achmad Baidowi, explained that SOEs need to be monitored through work meetings. He then questioned whether the former deputy chairman of the DPR had forgotten about it. "Has Fahri forgotten that BUMN has state funds that must be supervised by the DPR? One of the main tasks and functions of the DPR is one of supervision in addition to budgeting and legislation," Baidowi told reporters, Tuesday, February 16.

The secretary of the DPR's PPP faction emphasized that the supervision carried out by the DPR on SOEs is mandatory in order to ask for an explanation of the results of their professional performance.

"So every DPR conducts supervision, it is obligatory to follow it. We don't have anything to do, even if SOEs come, they come professionally, explain openly or privately," he said.

The man who is familiarly called Awiek then mentioned Fahri Hamzah, who was once the chairman of the DPR. During his tenure, he said that Fahri Hamzah had never prohibited BUMN directors from serving the DPR in the context of meetings.

"So that the proportions requested by the DPR, yes, I don't have a problem, after all Pak Fahri has been a member of the DPR, even the leadership of the DPR. During his leadership of the DPR, what prohibits BUMN directors from serving the DPR in the context of work meetings or hearings? I don't think it's fair Moreover, the DPR is not adventurous, it only performs a supervisory function," he concluded. Previously, Fahri suggested that the committee and agency meetings (board equipment/AKD) in the DPR that invite SOEs to be stopped because they are considered to have more bad effects.

Fahri conveyed the proposal through his official Twitter, @Fahrihamzah, Tuesday, February 15. Fahri assessed that the meeting with SOEs in the DPR actually made the 'red plate' company officials become politically minded, which resulted in the destruction of the professionalism of their directors.

"The SOE Directors are business officials, not political officials. Getting them used to meeting at @DPR_RI makes them have a political mentality. This is the root of the destruction of professionalism in SOEs. They are forced to serve the political interests of the executive and legislature. Corporate culture is corrupted!" said Fahri.

The former deputy chairman of the DPR said that SOEs did not need to serve the DPR. Even if you want a working meeting, Fahri suggested that the DPR should only summon BUMN commissioners and not talk about technical matters.

"So the SOE Directors don't need to serve @DPR_RI in work meetings because they are corporations. If there is a work meeting, the power of attorney is at @KemenBUMN. If you want to summon a corporation, the commissioner should represent it and it's only related to state issues with the power of shareholders. Not technical!"

Fahri also explained the reason why the commissions or bodies in the DPR did not discuss the technicalities in public. In addition to maintaining company confidentiality, Fahri saw that the discussion was not clear.

"It's not fair to dissect BUMN in public by politicians while they have competitors who always peek at their kitchens. Meanwhile, it's not clear what's being discussed. It's different from a questionnaire investigation meeting, for example. It's free. Let alone BUMN, the President can be summoned," said Fahri. .

Because of this, Fahri suggested that the committee or body meetings in the DPR be stopped. Because, he said, there are too many bad effects for SOEs.

"So it should be stopped, there are too many bad effects for @DPR_RI and even more so for SOEs. They must be encouraged to work purely as professionals. Don't do too much politics that can make the face of SOEs vague and unclear. The politicization of this BUMN has been proven bad," he said.
