Dream - State-Owned Enterprises Minister Erick Thohir praised the figure of President Commissioner (Komut) of PT Pertamina (Persero) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, who has been a 'guardian' of one of the flagship state-owned enterprises.

The good performance shown by Basuki has led the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises to continue to trust him to lead the commissioners in the state-owned red plate company.

"Mr. Ahok is a good figure to guard Pertamina, that's why we trust him as the President Commissioner," he said after the closing of the State-Owned Enterprises Festival in Jakarta, Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

Erick's praise was conveyed after rumors circulated that Ahok would replace the position of President Director Nicke Widyawati some time ago. He urged the public to believe information that is only conveyed by the relevant minister regarding state-owned enterprises. 

"Now, when talking about other things, I don't know where the media got it (the replacement issue). Believe in the minister," he added.

Previously, President Director of Pertamina Nicke Widyawati did not want to comment on rumors that she would be replaced by Ahok. She felt that she did not have the capacity to respond to the issue.

"That is the authority of the shareholders. Well, in this case, I am not in a position to speak," said Nicke Widyawati, as quoted from Liputan6.com, Wednesday, July 26, 2023.

The news of Nicke's replacement by Ahok, who is currently serving as the President Commissioner of Pertamina, emerged after both of them were summoned by State-Owned Enterprises Minister Erick Thohir.

Ahok's summons by Erick was intended to discuss the relocation of the Plumpang Depot, which was previously affected by a fire incident.

Meanwhile, Nicke's summons was done to discuss the programs of the state-owned oil company.

Erick wants to ensure that all programs are running and implemented quickly and measurably.

"So, I often summon the President Commissioner and President Director with different contexts, which are essentially to ensure that their programs are running," said Erick Thohir.
