TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) of PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk. which was held today appointed two new directors. One of the newly appointed directors replaced Bambang Rianto who was named a suspect in the case at the end of last year corruption.
Senior Vice President Corporate Secretary Waskita Ermy Puspa Yunita said changes in the board of directors were the Director of Business Development and Director of Operation II.
The position of Director of Business Development was originally held by Septiawan Andri Purwanto, now held by Rudi Purnomo. While the Director of Operations II, which was previously held by Bambang Rianto, is now held by Dhetik Ariyanto.
Previously, in this case, investigators had named Bambang Rianto, Operations Director II of PT Waskita Karya (Persero) as a suspect. The Attorney General’s Office said that Bambang unlawfully approved the disbursement of Supply Chain Financing (SCF) funds with fake supporting documents.
The funds from the SCF disbursement were previously claimed by Bambang to pay the company’s debt to vendors. However, the payment of the debt was found to be fictitious and caused state losses.
For his actions, Bambang is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
