The House of Representatives has officially asked the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to conduct an investigative audit of the state electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN)?s projects which are funded by foreign loans, Kompas reported Tuesday.
The request for audit letter, which was based on the Commission VI?s recommendation, was signed by House Speaker Agung Laksono.
According to Agung, the House leader on Monday just forwarded the recommendation of Commission VI. It was decided during a Commission VI?s hearing with deputy to State Minister for State Enterprises, PLN Barata Indonesia president director and Boma Bisma Indra on May 30 that there was need for the investigative audit of PLN projects.
Agung said it was normal to conduct an investigative audit after the general audit, whose findings need further investigation. The audit is aimed at maintaining transparency and accountability of the PLN projects. (*)
