Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The public was shocked by the confession of the President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok. The former governor of DKI Jakarta said that his credit card facility has a limit of up to Rp. 30 billion.
This was denied by the Special Staff of the Minister of SOEs, Arya Sinulingga. He even checked with Pertamina, where he said the credit card limit was around Rp 50 million-Rp 100 million per person.
Ahok’s confession also made a number of parties speak out. Executive Director of the Indonesian Credit Card Association (AKKI) Steve Martha, for example, was amazed because he had never found a limit as big as Ahok’s corporate credit card.
He even mentioned that he never found a limit of Rp 30 billion for a company. Moreover, given for per person.
“I don’t know and it’s almost never if the company’s limit is up to Rp 30 billion,” he told CNBC Indonesia recently.
The same thing was said by the former President Director of PT PLN (Persero) and the former Minister of SOEs, Dahlan Iskan. Dahlan Iskan even considered that the Rp 30 billion limit was unreasonable.
“Is it wrong to quote? I’m afraid that my comment will turn out to be misquoted. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
The latest comments came from the former President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) for the 2006-2009 period, Ari Soemarno. To CNBC Indonesia, he said that Pertamina’s corporate credit card limit when he served as President Director was the highest at Rp 500 million for directors and commissioners.
“When I was the CEO for the first time it was decided to give Corp. Credit Cards (CCC) from the Manager level to the Directors and Commissioners level. The limit depends on the position, the highest is the directors and commissioners, which is Rp 500 million,” he explained.
He said the purpose of this corporate credit card facility is so that for business trips and entertainment clients do not need to ask for a down payment first.
“Responsibility is also strict, where you have to make an expense report / accountability report at the end of every month which is approved by two superiors and if you are late, it can be blocked and revoked and if it is used not for official purposes, a warning is given and the salary is cut,” he explained
Ari also assessed that if the current limit is up to Rp 30 billion, but it is not reported clearly and accountably, then this is certainly something that is not true.
“If the current limit is (Rp) 30 billion and you don’t use an expense report, it’s strange and not true,” he concluded.
