JAKARTA - SOE Minister Erick Thohir stated that corruption in state-owned companies could not be eliminated. However, he believes corrupt practices can be suppressed.
This was conveyed by Erick after holding a closed audience with the leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Tuesday afternoon, April 29. This condition made the ministry choose to coordinate with the anti-corruption commission.
"We are pressing, we are not eliminating because it is impossible. Why is it impossible? Not because we can't afford it but indeed the system and leadership that we must continue to build. This is where we need synergy, so that what we agreed on becomes concrete," said Erick Thohir to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, Jakarta.
Erick said his ministry together with the KPK would establish a system to strengthen corruption prevention in state-owned companies. His party continues to clean up even though the function of the Ministry of SOEs changes in line with the revision of the law.
Meanwhile, during the meeting, Erick also briefly mentioned the Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) of the Danantara. Moreover, the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) was founded on the basis of the revision of the BUMN Law.
He said that in the future there will be further discussions about the role of the KPK Chairman together with law enforcement officers and other institutions included in the Danantara Supervisory and Accountability Committee. "This is what the next one month will give," he said.
"Not only from us, from Danantara also to convey earlier yes work or the duties of each of the councils that are being formed," concluded the chairman of the Danantara Supervisory Board.
