(Jakarta Post) Bambang Haryo disappointed with govt’s inadequate support for PT DI

12/12/2018



A member of House of Representatives Commission VI overseeing state-owned companies, Bambang Haryo, said that he was disappointed by the government’s lack of support for state-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI).

“The government only proposed Rp 400 billion [US$31.6 million] for the firm’s state capital injection. That is very little,” Bambang said during a hearing at the House’s budgetary body (Banggar) in Jakarta on Wednesday, as quoted by kompas.com.

He said that Rp 400 billion would not be enough to develop aircraft for coastguard purposes across the country’s sea border areas.

“PT DI needs tenfold the proposed budget to develop two aircraft. Indonesia is a maritime country and the firm needs huge support from the government to help carry out the country’s security mission,” he said.
