Indika Commissioner Steps Down to Serve as Agus-Sylvi Campaign Manager
Jakarta. Indika Energy president commissioner Wisnu Wardhana has resigned from his post to become a campaign manager for Jakarta's gubernatorial candidate Agus Yudhoyono and his running mate Sylviana Murni.
The publicly-listed integrated mining and energy company said in a statement on Friday (27/01) that Wisnu officially stepped down from his role on Dec. 7., relinquishing all his roles at the company and its subsidiaries.
"We appreciate Wisnu's decision to leave the company and focus on his new role. It's his personal decision and should prevent accusations of a conflict of interest," Indika Energy Chief Executive Arsjad Rasjid said in a statement.
Meanwhile, another top executive from one of Indika's subsidiaries, Mitrabahtera Segara Sejati, Rico Rustombi had also stepped down from his position as chief executive in September last year.
The Indika subsidiary provides shipment services within Indonesia for bulk materials.
Rico now takes on a role as a spokesman for Agus and Sylviana.
"As a publicly-listed company, Indika is not affiliated to any political party and we have a code of conduct that keeps us protected from any possible conflict of interests," Indika's corporate secretary Dian Paramita said.
Agus Lasmono — commissioner at Net Mediatama Televisi — and Wiwoho Basuki's family own 63.5 percent of Indika Energy through Indika Mitra Energi.
7.5 percent of the company is owned by three individuals: Pandri Prabono Moelyo, Eddy Junaedy Danu and Wadiono Suliantoro, with the rest controlled by the public.
The company said Wisnu only owned a 0.02 percent stake at Indika.
Wisnu was appointed as president commissioner of Indika Energy in April last year after previously serving as its president director since May 2013. He joined the company in 2007 as a director.
Wisnu also previously served as president commissioner of Indika Infrastruktur Investindo since 2008, as vice president commissioner at oil, gas and mining contractor Petrosea in 2013 and at Tripatra Engineers & Constructors and Tripatra Engineering since 2012.
He has been a commissioner at Mitrabahtera Segara Sejati since 2013, at Indika Mitra Energi since 2005, at solar turbine distributor Indoturbine since 2005, at coal producer Kideco Jaya Agung since 2005 and at Indika Energy Infrastructure since 2010.
Wisnu has also been a president director of Teladan Resources since 2004 and Indika Inti Corpindo since 2008.
