00:00The position of the Commissioner of State-Owned Enterprises, or BUMN, is once again given to a number of politicians who support President-elect Prabowo Subianto.
00:13After the 2024 general election, a number of political elites in Prabowo's circle joined the BUMN Commissioners.
00:21On Monday, June 10, the BUMN Holdings of the Indonesian Mining Industry, or MINEID, appointed politician Gerindra Fuad Bawazir as the Chief Commissioner.
00:30The founder of PSI, Grace Natali, also became the Chief Commissioner.
00:34Fuad and Grace were appointed as the MINEID Commissioners in the Annual Stockholders' General Meeting.
00:41At the same time, PT Pertamina filled the vacancy of the Chief Commissioner's Office with people close to Prabowo, namely Simon Alusius Mantiri.
00:49This oil company also appointed Conro Kirono as the Independent Commissioner of Pertamina.
00:54Simon, who appointed Basuki Cahayapurnama alias Ahok as the Chief Commissioner of Pertamina, was appointed as the Deputy Representative of the TKN Prabowo-Gibran.
01:02Adapun Conro is the Deputy Chairperson of TKN Prabowo-Gibran in the last presidential election.
01:08Transparency International Indonesia, or TII, described the phenomenon of dividing the BUMN Commissioners' Offices as a political gift or closeness has long been happening.
01:19TII Secretary General Danang Widoyoko said the step was usually done after the election.
01:25In addition to politicians, TII notes that currently the BUMN Commissioners are still dominated by bureaucrats, especially from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance.
01:34According to Danang, the reason why many politicians become commissioners is because the BUMN is a patronizing instrument.
01:42Those in power or the ruling coalition must provide material compensation as a service of political support.
01:48One of the material compensations is the position of the BUMN Commissioners.
01:53A survey conducted by TII in March 2021 shows that 14.73% of the BUMN Commissioners' Offices are filled with volunteers and party members.
02:05In addition, there are 51.66% of the Commissioners' Chairs, which are held by bureaucrats as representatives of the government as shareholders of the BUMN.
02:15Meanwhile, only 17.63% of the professionals. The rest come from law enforcement, military personnel, and former ministers.
02:26Executive Director of the BUMN Synergy Institute, Ahmad Yunus, stressed that there has been a politicization of the BUMN through the placement of commissioners from political elites.
02:36The placement of incompetent commissioners is worried about weakening the BUMN supervision,
02:40because the commissioners are responsible for supervising the BUMN management in running a business and giving advice to the management.
02:47The weakness of the supervision in the management body can lead to inefficiency and corruption.
02:51According to Ahmad, an important step that must be taken immediately is to clean the BUMN from political influence.
02:57However, the Chairperson of the BUMN, Sufmi Dasko Ahmad, assessed it as incorrect,
03:02saying that the recruitment of a number of supporters of Prabowo to become BUMN Commissioners as a practical part of the office.
03:08He argued that the BUMN's shown decline is high because it has the capacity to run programs in accordance with Prabowo's mission as elected president.
03:19Special Staff Minister of the BUMN, Arya Sinulingga, did not deny the fact that a number of red-collar business commissioners are indeed pointed out by the politicians.
03:30Arya argued that there is no ban on people with a political background to occupy the position of commissioner.
03:35According to Arya, the BUMN needs people with a political background.
03:40The reason is that the policy or major decisions in the BUMN must be approved by the DPR.
03:45From the management of the company's membership, the company's ownership or holding, initial public offering, to the participation of the state capital.
