        "summary": "The Head of the Government Communication Body (Bakom), Muhammad Qodari, has defended the appointment of commissioners from varied backgrounds to state-owned enterprises (SOEs), arguing they bring new perspectives to support government agendas. He stated that the fundamental requirements for a commissioner are common sense and good intentions, rather than a specific professional pedigree. The remarks come amid public debate over recent appointments, including figures linked to celebrity Raffi Ahmad and a former campaign volunteer for President Prabowo Subianto.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Head of the Indonesian Government\nCommunications Agency (Bakom), Muhammad Qodari, stated that selecting\ncommissioners for State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) from different\nbackgrounds brings new perspectives to the effort of overseeing the\ngovernment\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 commissioner\nfor an SOE, the role is vital for providing direction and monitoring\ngovernment agendas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrawing from my experience at Pertamina Hulu Energi, we can also\nassist in identifying alternative solutions. Because we come from\ndifferent backgrounds and from the outside, there is essentially a new\nperspective that can be brought into the companies where we serve as\ncommissioners,\u201d said Qodari.<\/p>\n<p>This statement responds to the ongoing public discussion regarding\nthe appointment of commissioners in several SOEs, including the\nselection 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 SOE-owned companies but also in private\ncorporations.<\/p>\n<p>Their presence benefits an SOE in performing oversight functions and\ncontributing ideas and concepts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my humble opinion, the fundamental requirements for a\ncommissioner are two: first, common sense, and second, good intentions,\u201d\nhe 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 an SOE.<\/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 from professional and competent backgrounds.<\/p>",
