Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President’s government Joko Widodo (Jokowi) continues to strive to take over state assets that have been controlled by the family of the second president of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Soeharto.
After taking over the management of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), the government also took over the assets of Gedung Granadi and Vila Megamendung.
TMII was previously managed by the Harapan Kita Foundation. The foundation founded by Soeharto was assigned only to manage, provided that these assets still belong to the state.
Meanwhile, the assets of the Granadi Building and the Megamendung Villa belonging to the Supersemar Foundation were also founded by Suharto. However, both of them had to be confiscated by the state in 2018 because they were related to a legal case of misappropriation of the state budget.
The Director of State Property (BMN) of the Ministry of Finance Encep Sudarwan said that as long as TMII was managed by the Harapan Kita Foundation, there was never a deposit of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP). So far, only taxes have been paid.
“There are two state revenues, tax and non-tax. For taxes, they pay taxes, but if PNBP has not existed so far,” Encep said in a discussion with DJKN on the theme of ‘TMII Takeover’, Friday (16/4/2021).
The reason TMII never paid PNBP was because in Presidential Decree (Keppres) Number 51 of 1977 regarding the management of TMII carried out by the Harapan Kita Foundation, it had not been regulated how the PNBP was. With the transfer of management, it is hoped that the state-owned assets will contribute to generating PNBP in the future.
Encep also said that the goods that have been confiscated by the state automatically become BMN and are managed by the government.
“The Granadi building and assets in Megamendung, along that BMN is managed by the DJKN (Directorate General of State Assets),” he said.
So far the South Jakarta District Court has confiscated assets worth around Rp 242 billion from a total of 113 accounts belonging to the Supersemar Foundation. Meanwhile, the Supersemar Foundation is obliged to pay state losses of Rp.4.4 trillion.
Encep said that after the building officially becomes BMN, it will be insured. Like TMII, currently being audited which parts are deemed necessary to be insured first.
“Later when it is found out which ones need to be insured, in principle all BMN must be insured, but gradually there are buildings and offices,” said Encep.
