"When Mr (Prabowo) leads the Ministry of Defense, there are many people in the procurement of defense equipment, (such as) PT Teknologi Militer Indonesia (TMI), Indonesia Defense Security," said Anies.

Before being mentioned by Anies in the presidential candidate debate, PT TMI was once a topic of conversation in 2021. At that time, this company was linked to the Alutsista procurement program which reached 124.99 billion dollars or equivalent to Rp1,760 trillion.
The alleged involvement of PT TMI in the project is based on the Draft Presidential Regulation (Raperpres) regarding the procurement and maintenance of defense and security equipment (Alpalhankam).
The budget value proposed for this project reached IDR 1.7 quadrillion, most of which came from foreign debt.
In Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Raperpres document, it is stated that the minister compiled the planning of the budget needs of the Ministry of Defense and the TNI for five Strategic Plans for 2020-2044, whose implementation will begin in the 2020-2024 Resntra, requiring Jamak Strategic Plans in financing and procurement.
Then, article 3 paragraph 1 states that the plan for the needs of the Ministry of Defense/TNI's Alpalhankam to reach 124.99 billion dollars, with the following details:
In addition to the Raperpres which was leaked to the public, there was also a letter from the Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto which contained the appointment of PT TMI as the manager of the program.
PT TMI is a company founded by the Defense Resources Potential Development Foundation. This used to be the Education and Housing Welfare Foundation under the Ministry of Defense.
Launching VOI news, Wednesday, June 2, 2021, there were four Gerindra Party cadres who were registered as high-ranking PT TMI officials, including Glenny Kairupan, Yudi Magio Yusuf, Prasetyo Hadi, and Anggga Raka Prabowo. Glenny served as chairman of the commissioner. While the other three were members of the commissioner.
However, PT TMI had denied the company's involvement in the Ministry of Defense's plan to buy up defense equipment worth IDR 1.7 quadrillion.
In addition, Defense Minister Prabowo has also explained to Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives about this commotion. Prabowo denied the role of TMI which was allegedly a broker.
Member of Commission I DPR RI Effendi Simbolon at that time said that Prabowo guaranteed that PT TMI would not become a project broker worth Rp1.7 quadrillion. Prabowo said that the company would only become a consultant.
"Earlier, we also asked whether this was only in the interest of certain parties and close colleagues. The Minister of Defense said no, (PT TMI) happens to be a person who has a passion and expert," said Efendi on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, according to Antara.
