Rizal's criticized the system of management and financial performance of the company under Lino.
He said Lino has bragged about profit recorded by Pelindo II, when the company is not even included in the list of 20 state companies recording the largest profit.
"He (Lino) claimed to chalk up the largest profit, which is not true. Pelindo II is not among 20 state companies reporting high profit," Rizal told members of the Special Committee.
He said Pelindo II is behind PT KAI (state railway company), which posted Rp591 billion in net profit and pawnshop Pegadaian with profit of Rp1.6 trillion and Pelindo III, which posted Rp640 billion in net profit.
"How come Pelindo II bragging (good performance)," he said.
He said Pelindo II, which has a much larger market share should not be lagging behind Pelindo III.
Rizal said the system of management in Pelindo II did not follow order describing the system as messy.
Citing an example, he said container ships are not served on the principel of "first come, first served" .
"Lino said Pelindo II has its own system to suit clients. It is down right foolish, very bad , very much inconceivable. It would force many ships waiting for as long as seven days," he said.
The system contributed to long dwelling time at Tanjung Priok, he said.
Rizal also criticized extension of contract with Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT), saying the contract extension was against many regulations including the Law on shipping.
He said the extension was given before the termination of the old contract.
For that , he said, he would ask the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to carry out investigative audit of those problems.
"We will soon send a letter to BPK asking the agency to audit the contract extension, financial condition and management system of Pelindo II," he added.
Rizal said his presence to give information to the Pansus was part of his duties as regulated in Presidential Regulation No 10 of 2015.
Based on the presidential regulation, part of the duties of a coordinating minister for maritime affairs is to coordinate and synchronize ministries/agencies under its coordination and at the same time do the supervision, he said.
"There has been questions as to why the Coordinating Minister often meddles in other affairs. That is because it is part of his duties," he said.
The Special Committee already summoned a number of other related officials to give information about alleged irregularities in Pelindo II.
Earlier police's criminal investigating agency (Bareskrim) raided the head office of Pelindo II and seized a number of documents. (WDY)
