JAKARTA - Several songwriters who are members of the All-Indonesian Composters Association (AKSI) visited the State Secretariat Building on Thursday, December 28.
They came to meet the Presidential Chief of Staff, General TNI Retired H Moeldoko to discuss the lack of transparency from the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) regarding song royalties.
Meanwhile, songwriters who attended included Piyu, Badai, Anji, Posan, Rieka Roslan, Tengku Shafick, Ari Bias, and several other names.
Moeldoko, after discussing with the songwriters, expressed his readiness to resolve royalty problems by opening an audience with LMKN and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
"The result of our conversation in the room and I as the Chief of Presidential Staff is to carry out strategic functions and this is an issue that we must respond to. So the next steps are that I invite all parties from the LMKN and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to discuss this issue so that there is a solution," said Moeldoko to the media crew at the Presidential Staff Office, Gambir, Central Jakarta, Thursday, December 28.
Meanwhile, Piyu as the General Chair of ACTION emphasized that his party had discussed the transparency of royalties to LMKN but did not end well. THE ACTION then sent two summons in 2023.
From the results of the summons, LMKN emphasized that it could not fulfill the AKSI request because it did not have the authority to regulate the transparency in question.
"We are tired enough and tired to wait for the transparency of LMKN. We want transparency. We have made two summons, all we hope is transparency," said Piyu.
"It turned out that the answer from the institution was very disappointing for us. It turned out that they did not have the right to provide us with financial reports. Therefore, we complained about this to the Presidential Staff Office so that it could be dealt with immediately," he said.
