JAKARTA - Today Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara is known to have held a working meeting (raker) with Commission I of the DPR with the agenda of requesting approval for the sale of state-owned goods in the form of the former KRI Teluk Sampit-515 ship.

Not only the Deputy Minister of Finance, Deputy Minister of Defense (Wamenhan) Muhammad Herindra, Commander of the TNI Andika Perkasa, and Chief of Naval Staff (Kasal) Yudo Margono also took part in the same agenda.

This meeting is part of the constitutional procedure for the mechanism for the elimination of state property (BMN) whose procurement value is more than Rp. 100 billion.

For information, the abolition of BMN with a value of more than Rp. 100 billion must be approved by the DPR. Meanwhile, BMN with a value of Rp. 10 billion to Rp. 100 billion must be approved by the President, and a value below Rp. 10 billion by the Ministry of Finance. Meanwhile, the acquisition price of KRI Teluk Sampit was Rp. 173.96 billion when it was purchased in 1978.

A critique was then raised by Commission I member of the PDIP Faction Effendi Muara Sakti Simbolon when he learned that the current selling price of the KRI Teluk Sampit was only Rp. 740 million.

"We're talking about the elimination of Rp740 million of goods that are as complex as this, not to mention that there are 15 ships that will be auctioned. So every week we have a meeting about this. Later, there will also be other assets of tanks and armored vehicles which are said to be abolished. After a while, we will be dealing with scrap metal," he said at the DPR complex as broadcast on a virtual broadcast, Thursday, March 23.

Effendi then asked why he didn't immediately hold a meeting to discuss the abolition of BMN at once for the 15 ships in question.

"Why not all at once, we make a working group or committee," he said.

From the meeting it was revealed that the "retail" of the warship abolition meeting was because the letter issued by the President to the DPR occurred separately. Previously, the DPR and government representatives had discussed the initial two ships.

It was also revealed that KRI Teluk Sampit would most likely end up as a recycled metal raw material. This was stated by the Director General of State Assets of the Ministry of Finance, Rionald Silaban.

"The winner of the auction will be the one who will cut up (the ship as scrap metal). Basically, we at the Directorate General of State Assets select the winner of the auction based on an open and fair system. We ensure that the auction takes place fairly,” said Rionald Silaban.

Meanwhile, several considerations why KRI Teluk Sampit was sold because the ship's material condition was heavily damaged. Then, the system of machinery, electricity, navigation equipment, communications, and instruments of the ship's bridge can no longer be used.

Later, the funds obtained from the auction will go into the state treasury in the form of non-tax state revenue (PNBP).
