Krakatau Semen Indonesia Commissioner's Profile Highlighted, Volunteer History with Prabowo on Company Website Sparks Discussion
The profile of the Commissioner of PT Krakatau Semen Indonesia has drawn attention after their history as a Prabowo volunteer was listed on the company website. Netizens are questioning its relevance.
UPDATEYUK.ID - The profile of a Commissioner of PT Krakatau Semen Indonesia (KRSI) has become a spotlight on social media after netizens discovered a history of experience as a volunteer for Prabowo Subianto listed on the company's official website.
The discussion began with a post from the X account @GerraldKevin, who shared a screenshot of the profile of KRSI Commissioner, Ahmad Najmi Shahab. The biodata listed experience as part of the Creative Team, Social Media, Documentation, and Video Editing for the Great House of Prabowo Volunteers in 2023.
The post then went viral and triggered various comments from social media users questioning the relevance of this experience to the position of commissioner in the joint venture company of two State-Owned Enterprises.
Career History Becomes a Spotlight for Netizens
In addition to his volunteer experience, Ahmad Najmi's profile also includes his tenure as a Fashion Copywriter and Content Planner for PT Indomode Fashion in 2022, as well as his S1 (Bachelor's degree) in Communication Science from Universitas Tama Jagakarsa.
The account that first uploaded the screenshot assessed that listing experience as part of a political volunteer group on the company's official profile raised questions.
"Mr. Ahmad Najmi Shahab, Commissioner of PT Krakatau Semen Indonesia. I'm distracted by his career path. This is Krakatau's official account. Krakatau, what's going on?" wrote the account @GerraldKevin.
The post then received a wide response. Several X users highlighted Ahmad Najmi's career leap to being entrusted with a commissioner position.
Others questioned the connection between the listed professional experience and the strategic position in the company.
President Commissioner Also Lists Prabowo-Gibran Team History
Based on updateyuk.id's investigation, Ahmad Najmi is not the only KRSI commissioner who has listed experience in Prabowo's support team.
KRSI President Commissioner, Akhrom Saleh, also listed his experience as General Secretary of the Prabowo-Gibran Team 8 since 2023 in his official profile.
This finding further broadened public discussion regarding the inclusion of political affiliations in the profiles of company officials within the State-Owned Enterprise environment and its subsidiaries.

Observer: Political Volunteering Path Is Not New
The spotlight on the KRSI commissioners' profiles has also sparked discussions about the recruitment patterns of commissioners in state-owned companies.
Several observers believe that experience in political volunteer organizations can indeed be part of an individual's track record. However, the placement of individuals in strategic positions within State-Owned Enterprises must still prioritize the principles of competence, good corporate governance, and professionalism.
On the other hand, the presence of this information on the company's official website is considered to open avenues for the public to assess the transparency of the commissioner appointment process.
As of the writing of this news, there has been no official statement from PT Krakatau Semen Indonesia regarding the spotlight that has emerged on social media or concerning the inclusion of political volunteer history in the company's commissioners' profiles. (*)
