State-Owned Enterprise Body: Peruri CEO Replacement Based on Company Needs

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The head of the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN), who also serves as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Danantara, Dony Oskaria, said the replacement of Perum Peruri President Director Dwina Septiani Wijaya was carried out based on the company’s needs.

“I think once it has been announced, then yes (there has been a change of Peruri’s president director). Because earlier I was inside (the limited meeting). But the decision has already been made,” said Dony after attending a limited meeting with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Wednesday.

It is understood that Dwina Septiani Wijaya was replaced by retired TNI officer Teguh Arief Indratmoko. The announcement was based on BP BUMN Decree Number 345 of 2026 and Decree Number 346 of 2026 concerning the dismissal and appointment of the President Director and Chair of the Peruri Supervisory Board, dated 15 July 2026.

Regarding the appointment of a retired Indonesian Army officer as Peruri’s new president director, Dony said the placement of directors at each state enterprise is adjusted to their respective needs.

He affirmed that such considerations form the basis for determining the figure deemed appropriate to lead Peruri in line with the company’s needs and strategic functions.

“So all director placements depend on our needs. Peruri is actually a company that needs to be safeguarded in terms of security and so on. We need it — Peruri is actually not a commercial company, it is more of a government instrument to exercise control,” he explained.

In addition to the president director, BP BUMN also appointed Geerhan Lantara as Chair of the Supervisory Board.
