        "summary": "Muhammad Qodari, head of the Government Communication Body, has defended the appointment of state-owned enterprise commissioners from diverse backgrounds, arguing they bring fresh perspectives to oversee government agendas. His remarks follow public scrutiny over recent appointments, including individuals linked to celebrity Raffi Ahmad and a Prabowo-Gibran campaign volunteer. Qodari stressed that common sense and good intentions are the fundamental requirements for the role.",
        "content": "<p>The Head of the Indonesian Government Communication Agency (Bakom),\nMuhammad Qodari, stated that appointing commissioners for State-Owned\nEnterprises (SOEs) from different backgrounds brings new perspectives to\nthe effort of overseeing the government\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Met after opening the Nusantara Media Fest 2026 in Jakarta on\nSaturday, Qodari shared that based on his experience as a former\ncommissioner of an SOE, the role of a commissioner is vital for\nproviding direction and monitoring government programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrawing from my experience at Pertamina Hulu Energi, we can assist\nin identifying alternative solutions. Because we come from different\nbackgrounds and from the outside, there is essentially a new perspective\nthat can be brought into the companies where we serve as commissioners,\u201d\nsaid Qodari.<\/p>\n<p>His statement comes in response to public discourse regarding the\nappointment of commissioners in several SOEs. This includes the\nappointment of Raffi Ahmad\u2019s personal assistant, Mufi Budi Ananda, as a\ncommissioner of PT Krakatau Posco, and Gina Febriyanti Ginting, a\nvolunteer for Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka during the\n2024 Presidential Election, as a commissioner of PT Pertamina\nRetail.<\/p>\n<p>Qodari stated that the selection of commissioners for a company is a\nnormal practice, not only in SOEs but also in private corporations. He\nnoted that their presence benefits an SOE in performing oversight and\ncontributing ideas and concepts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my humble opinion, the fundamental requirements for a\ncommissioner are twofold: first, common sense, and second, good\nintentions,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He added that those appointed as commissioners usually possess\nsignificant experience in organisations, government, or the private\nsector, which subsequently provides new perspectives in their duty to\noversee SOEs.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan\nMaharani, also stated in the parliamentary complex in Senayan on\nThursday (2\/7) that the DPR continues to encourage the appointment of\nSOE commissioners to be filled by professional and competent\nindividuals.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, many SOE commissioner positions are held by deputy\nministers from the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Cabinet, civil servants,\npoliticians, volunteers, and individuals close to political elites.<\/p>",
