Tanri to ring change at Telkom

JAKARTA (JP): State Minister of the Empowerment of State Enterprise Tanri Abeng said yesterday he would push for the replacement of PT Telkom's chief commissioner at the company's forthcoming extraordinary meeting.

He said the company's new chief commissioner, who would replace Agus Haryanto -- who is also the secretary-general of the Ministry of Finance -- should have extensive experience in the telecommunications industry.

He said that although the board of directors would be retained, each member of the board should explain their job description and roles.

"The board of directors should present their job descriptions soon," Antara quoted him as saying. (aly)
