JAKARTA - PDI Perjuangan politician Adian Napitupulu said that around 6,000 people who sit as commissioners and directors in all State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) are entrusted people. This is because there has never been a vacancy for the general public to register with a cover letter and have their abilities tested.
Special Staff of the Ministry of BUMN, Arya Sinulingga, spoke up about Adian's statement. According to him, Adian actually does not understand the stages of selecting directors and commissioners in state-owned companies.
"That Bang Adian may not understand the corporate culture in finding directors or commissioners," he said, when contacted by VOI, Thursday, July 23.
According to Arya, corporations have their own mechanisms in choosing their leaders. This is what makes it different. He admitted that so far there have been no companies that have been looking for directors or commissioners openly in public or published in newspapers.
"Try looking for a company that has been looking for directors or commissioners openly, right? There have never been any. There are certain ways or stages in a corporate search for directors or commissioners and that does not mean it is a deposit," he explained.
Arya admitted that it was strange for Adian's accusation that all BUMN directors and commissioners were entrusted. Arya explained that the election is not open to the public does not mean it is a deposit.
"That's strange, so if the public doesn't know, it's a deposit? If it's not open, it's a deposit? That's why I said, Bang Adian doesn't understand corporate culture in recruiting directors or commissioners," he said.
Process of Election of Directors of Red Plate CompaniesPreviously, the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) explained that there are several internal processes in the ministry in appointing directors for state-owned companies. One of them is the talent pool system.
As is well known, BUMN Minister Erick Thohir has recently been aggressively overhauling the board of directors of several state-owned companies. Among them, PT Wijaya Karya (Persero), PT Pertamina. Then, PT Telkom Indonesia Tbk and PT Semen Indonesia Tbk, were also overhauled.
Special Staff of the Ministry of BUMN, Arya Sinulingga, said that the talent pool system would select the right candidates to become directors at BUMN. This talent pool is managed by the Deputy for Human Resources (HR) Alex Denni.
"Here there is such a thing as a BUMN talent pool, so don't be surprised between BUMNs often changing. So there, then they are moved here, because it is a talent pool. This will be seen by the team, from there which one thinks is suitable for this position. Later he will be selected, "said Arya, in a virtual discussion, Tuesday, June 17.
Then, continued Arya, after passing the selection for the BUMN talent pool stage, candidates must pass the next stage of selection based on portfolios by representatives of BUMN material.
"The selection is continued in each deputy minister based on portfolios, our deputy minister has a portfolio. Those who are selected, the minister will see whether the company is strategic or not," he explained.
If the company is strategic, said Arya, then the name will also be chosen by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The strategic SOEs in question are PT Pertamina (Persero), PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) or PLN, and several banks.
"If it is strategic up to the top level, up to the president. This rule has been a long time since the era of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)," he said.
Arya emphasized that the same process was carried out if there were several parties who submitted names directly to the Ministry of BUMN. According to Arya, the government is open to input from all parties.
"It's the same as we accept input from various parties. Especially in the future, our Minister is starting to open up from outside as well, so the opportunity to get the best sons and daughters of the nation is getting bigger," he said.
Naturally, the Election of Directors is in the Public SpotlightArya assessed that it is natural that currently the issue of replacing commissioners or directors in state companies is the public's concern. Because, almost 50 percent of Indonesia's economy is played by BUMN.
"Looking at the capitalization, it is only natural when everyone turns their eyes to BUMN," he said.
According to Arya, public attention to BUMN is also inseparable from their contribution to public services so that sometimes it triggers pros and cons. Moreover, BUMN shares are owned by the government, which is the same as the company owned by the people.
"Regarding the many public interests and many advantages that also make the BUMN (in the spotlight). In relation to the public, BUMN owned by the people, the shares are owned by the government, so inevitably the eye will always see. It's normal (if it becomes the spotlight), "he said.
