The Indonesian Parliament sent a letter of dismissal of Arief Hidayat Thamrin from the Chairman of the Supervisory Board (Dewas) of LPP TVRI to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). This dismissal was due to DPR rejecting Arief’s defense of Helmy Yahya’s dismissal from TVRI’s CEO (Dirut).
Arief’s dismissal letter was signed directly by the Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament, Puan Maharani, dated October 5, 2020. The letter to Jokowi was based on recommendations from the DPR Commission I meeting.
“Presentation of the decision of the internal meeting of Commission I of the DPR RI on October 1, 2020 regarding the dismissal of the president of the Supervisory Board (Dewas) LPP TVRI as a member of LPP TVRI Dewas for the period 2017- 2020 “, the letter reads as seen detikcom, Monday (12/10/2020).
Commission I rejected Arief’s defense regarding the dismissal of Helmy Yahya. Arief had defended himself regarding Dewas TVRI’s decision to fire Helmy Yahya.
“In relation to this, the Directorate of the DPR RI sent the letter from the President of Commission I of the DPR RI who decided to reject the written defense letter from the Chief of Dewas LPP TVRI for the period 2017-2020, Mr. Arief Hidayat Thamrin, as submitted to DPRI, “the letter reads.
This case began when Dewas TVRI sent a Dismissal Plan Notification Letter (SPRP) to Helmy Yahya in December 2019. Then the termination officially went into effect on January 16, 2020.
Helmy Yahya later delivered his defense by letter, but Dewas TVRI did not receive a response. In the end, Dewas TVRI still fired Helmy and appointed a replacement. Dewas also conveyed Helmy’s dismissal to the DPR and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) by letter.
There were several reasons for Dewas TVRI to fire Helmy, from the issue of broadcasting the Premier League on TVRI to budget issues. Helmy was also charged with delivering a narrative that the Oversight Board exercised excessive oversight of the Board of Directors.
Helmy also briefly explained the reasons for the Premier League broadcast. Helmy said that all television stations want a program that can appeal to their audience. Helmy said that with confidence in broadcast coverage, TVRI finally broadcast the English League.
“Every station in the world wants to have a killer content show or content monster or content locomotive that gets people to watch. TVRI because of people’s trust, because our reach is five times that of others televisions, we finally got to work with Mola TV to broadcast the English League, masyaallah. ” Helmy said during a press conference in Pulau Dua Resto, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Central Jakarta, on Friday (1/17).
