Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani gave an explanation regarding the viral photo of herself beside the Toyota Alphard car on the apron of Soekarno-Hatta Airport a few days ago. In his statement, the state treasurer ensured that it had met the applicable regulations.
"That is a protocol given to me (according to Angkasa Pura/airport manager)," he said during a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR today, Monday, March 27.
The Minister of Finance revealed that the escorts also provided by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise were commonplace because the airport was also an effective working area.
"When going to Cengkareng, it is normal to go to Customs and Excise to ask their subordinates, at the same time they conveyed how they worked at that time. As a leader, I communicated and discussed and continued to follow airport protocols," he said.
Previously, a private car of the Alphard type was caught entering the Soekarno-Hatta airport apron escorted by a Customs vehicle. It was later discovered that the car was intended to pick up Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani who had just returned from a working visit in Papua.
Meanwhile, Angkasa Pura II as the airport manager has provided an official statement. SM of Branch Communication and Legal Soekarno-Hatta Airport, M Holik Muard, said this was related to the handling of VIP guests.
"PT Angkasa Pura II conveyed that under certain conditions and according to the applicable procedures (SOPs) between agencies, there were protocols in handling VIPs carried out by related agencies at airports managed by the company," he said.
