Diaz Hendropriyono new Telkomsel commissioner

F

ormer State Intelligence Agency (BIN) chief AM Hendropriyono, who was also previously involved in President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo'€™s election campaign team as an advisor, has said that he did not intervene in the appointment of his son as a commissioner for the nation'€™s largest cellular operator, state-owned Telkomsel.

Hendropriyono said the public was free to judge his son'€™s capability to be a commissioner for Telkomsel, a unit of Indonesia'€™s top telecommunications firm Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom).

'€œI don'€™t know. I did not intervene. As long as the capabilities are there, the education is sufficient, I guess it'€™s up to those who judge. But I have never intervened in affairs related to my family. It'€™s up to the President,'€ Hendropriyono told reporters at the State Palace after a meeting with Jokowi on Monday, as quoted by kompas.com.

Telkomsel'€™s shareholders meeting appointed Diaz Hendropriyono, Heri Sunaryadi, Mukhlis Moechtar, Paul Dominic O'€™Sullivan and Yuen Kuan Moon as commissioners. Ririek Ardiansyah has also been appointed as Telkomsel president director, replacing Alex Janangkih Sinaga.

Diaz was involved in Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla'€™s campaign trail during last year'€™s election. He was chairman of the '€œKawan Jokowi'€ (Friends of Jokowi) group and of the '€œGerak Cepat'€ (Quick Move) Jokowi-Kalla website. (***)
