JAKARTA - Commission VII of the DPR will reschedule a working meeting (raker) with the President Director of PT Krakatau Steel, Silmy Karim, after being expelled last Monday, February 14. The expulsion occurred because Silmy was deemed to have violated the rules of the DPR meeting.
Deputy Chairperson of Commission VII DPR RI Eddy Soeparno said the rescheduling was carried out because last Monday's working meeting had not yet reached a conclusion, so there was still a lot of research that members of the commission in charge of energy wanted to explore. In particular, regarding imports to the productivity of the domestic steel industry.
"Yesterday did not end with a conclusion, of course we will reschedule the meeting," said Eddy when confirmed, Wednesday, February 16.
However, the PAN politician said that a follow-up working meeting with the President Director of Krakatau Steel would take place during the next trial. This is because the DPR will close the recess session on Friday, February 18.
"I think the deepening will also involve cross-ministerial. So there is a plan to reschedule the meeting," said Eddy.
Previously, the President Director of PT Krakatau Steel Tbk (KRAS), Silmy Karim was expelled from the Commission VII DPR RI meeting room on Monday, February 14.
This incident was triggered by a debate between Silmy and the meeting participants who are also Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Bambang Haryadi.
Initially, Commission VII had a Hearing Meeting (RDP) agenda with the Director General of ILMATE of the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin), and the President Director of PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk Silmy Karim regarding several matters. These include the development of a smelter in South Kalimantan, a stalled blast furnace, explanations regarding steel imports, and others.
In his presentation, Silmy explained that the cessation of the operation of the flash furnace was due to loss reasons. However, this was criticized by Bambang, because it was considered not in line with efforts to strengthen domestic production.
"This is how the blast furnace factory was stopped, but do you want to strengthen domestic production? Don't shout thieves. Don't let us play, but pretend we're not playing," said Bambang, Monday, February 14.
"What do you mean thief?" asked Silmy instantly.
Bambang again reiterated his question regarding the efforts of the state-owned company to take part in strengthening the national steel industry through a blast furnace factory. Silmy tried to explain.
However, Silmy's response was judged by Commission VII not to be in accordance with the technicality of the trial because he spoke before being invited. Bambang was furious.
"There is a trial technique. How come it seems that you never respect Commission VII. If you can't speak here, you're out!" said Bambang.
Responding to Bambang, Silmy answered. "Fine, if you have to go out. We're out," answered Silmy.
