'TVRI' to get clear status soon

JAKARTA: The government has promised to help cash-trapped
state-owned television station TVRI, a company director says.

TVRI president director Sumita Tobing said on Sunday that he
was informed by the deputy state minister for state-owned
enterprises (BUMN) Roes Aryawidjaya that the government would
also replace the television station's board of directors.

Sumita said the deputy minister expressed support for the
consolidation taking place in the television company, from
getting rid of corrupt practices, auditing the company's
financial records and firing the TVRI directors.

State Minister of State Enterprises Laksamana Sukardi had
approved nominees to fill the five director positions, she said,
adding that two of them would be TVRI officials and others from
outside. -- Antara
