JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has appointed the former General Manager of Operational General Manager PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk (Alfamart), Tri Prasetyo, to become the President Director of Perumda Pasar Jaya.

The Daily Executive (Plh) of DKI Jakarta Regional Secretary, Sigit Wijatmoko emphasized that this appointment did not have a conflict of interest, even though Tri was a former director of a private retail company.

"There is no interest, right. In the process, there is an independent committee that conducts a fit and proper test," Sigit told reporters, Sunday, July 17.

Sigit emphasized that Tri participated in an open selection to the Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD). Furthermore, the shareholders, including the Governor of DKI Anies Baswedan, decided on one name to be appointed as the president director.

To Tri, BP BUMD has also emphasized that it has the main task of running government programs.

"Of course there are also technical considerations that were conveyed. But, again, BUMD is actually a corporation that carries out government duties, not a pure corporation that solely pursues profit and profit," he explained.

For information, Anies appointed Tri Prasetyo as President Director of Pasar Jaya replacing Arief Nasrudin who is now appointed as President Director of PAM Jaya.

Tri Prasetyo's last position before being appointed as President Director of Pasar Jaya was Operational General Manager of PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk (Alfamart). In addition, Tri has also served as Distribution Center Manager, Deputy Branch Manager, and Branch Manager.

Plt. The head of the DKI Jakarta Province Regional Owned Enterprises Development Agency (BP BUMD), Budi Purnama, revealed that a refresh in the BUMD management line needs to be carried out so that it can play a maximum role in the community, one of which is the replacement of the President Director, as happened in the Pasar Jaya Perumda body.

According to Budi, Tri Prasetyo has met the criteria as a person who holds the position of President Director of Pasar Jaya. Given, Budi has work experience in planning, coordinating, and managing the operations of retail companies at Alfamart.

Budi hopes that Tri is able to work together with all stakeholders to solve the challenges of Perumda Pasar Jaya in the future, both in the field of market management, construction and/or revitalization of market buildings, as well as in the wholesale and retail sector.

"Mr. Tri Prasetyo's experience in the retail sector is expected to develop Perumda Pasar Jaya's business in the wholesale and retail sector, as well as provide support for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's program to maintain price stability for necessities," said Budi.
