JAKARTA - The appointment of Donny Saragih as the President Director of PT TransJakarta by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan is plagued by problems. The reason is, Donny was recorded as having been convicted of fraud on an ongoing basis at the Central Jakarta District Court.
Chairman of the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative of Greater Jakarta, Teguh Nugroho, suspects that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has committed maladministration in appointing Donny Saragih as Managing Director of TransJakarta.
"Based on public consultations regarding the appointment of the TransJakarta Director, we are tracking suspected maladministration," said Teuh when contacted, Monday, January 27.
Based on the case records number 490 / Pid.B / 2018 / PN Jkt.Pst on the Central Jakarta District Court website, on August 15 2018 Donny and his colleague Andi Tambunan were guilty of extortion and threats. They are subject to criminal sanctions in Article 378 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
The panel of judges sentenced Donny and Andi to one year in prison. And set the two of them to become city prisoners.
The ruling was also strengthened by the Jakarta High Court, which stipulated that the two of them remain in detention. Both of them filed an appeal, but was again rejected by the Supreme Court, on February 12, 2019.
Based on these records, Teguh suspected that there were maladministration acts that occurred in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Where is the condition for the appointment of BUMN leaders not to be involved in criminal cases, during the last five years.
Teguh asked Anies to re-examine Donny's track record. "What we are asking for now is that the provincial government will first check the track record in question."
For information, on January 23, Donny Saragih was appointed as Managing Director of PT TransJakarta replacing Agung Wicaksono who resigned from the position held since October 2018.
The appointment of Donny Saragih as President Director was based on consideration of experience in the transportation sector, namely the commissioner of PT Alfa Omega Transport since 2014 sempai and now, Operational Director of PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport, Tbk from 2007 to 2017, and the position of Deputy Chairman of the Jakarta City Transportation Council .
