Wamenaker Regarding Sritex Bankrupt: There Is An Allegation That Satan's Hand Is Playing

Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker), Immanuel Ebenezer Gerungan, suspects that the interference of certain parties in the bankruptcy of PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk (Sritex).

"We suspect that in this bankruptcy process there are devil's hands playing," said the man who is familiarly called Noel to the media crew when met at the Ministry of Manpower Building, Monday, December 23.

When asked about who the 'demon's hand' was, Noel emphasized that his party would still continue to look for it.

"Yes, we are looking for it," he said.

However, he said, the Ministry of Manpower would still respect the Supreme Court's decision to declare Sritex bankrupt.

Regarding the statement of Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto who said he would restructure Sritex, Noel welcomed this.

However, he emphasized, the Ministry of Manpower's concern still anticipates the termination of employment (PHK) by Sritex.

"Our domain, the Ministry of Manpower is to keep there from being laid off," said Noel.
