Commission III of the West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has firmly asked the management of PT Jasa Sarana to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of company operations. This step was taken in response to the increasingly concerning financial condition of the infrastructure-sector Regionally Owned Enterprise (BUMD), caused by accumulated losses across various business lines.
Chairman of Commission III of the West Java DPRD, Jajang Rohana, stated that the company must make tactical decisions by stopping unproductive business units. The main focus now is to save the remaining regional assets and ensure that all operational activities return to profitability, rather than continuing to burden the regional budget.
Based on audit data, PT Jasa Sarana experienced a significant decline in asset value, dropping from previously over IDR 1 trillion to around IDR 500 billion remaining. The situation is further strained by debt obligations reaching IDR 170 to 180 billion, as well as an annual operating deficit touching IDR 3 billion.
Responding to the crisis, the council encouraged the company to immediately optimize assets, including the option of divesting idle or unproductive assets. The proceeds from these divestments are expected to be injected back as capital support for business units with better economic prospects.
Jajang emphasized that the strict oversight conducted by the legislature aims to restore professionalism to PT Jasa Sarana. It is hoped that through disciplined management governance improvements, the BUMD can bounce back quickly and resume its function as a potential contributor to West Java's Regional Original Revenue (PAD).
