Who Will Replace Febrie Adriansyah in the PKH Task Force?

The Indonesian Forest Area Control Task Force (Satgas PKH) will continue its operations unaffected by the corruption charges against its former executive chairman, Febrie Adriansyah. Barita Simanjuntak, the spokesperson for Satgas PKH, confirmed that Adriansyah's designation as a suspect in a corruption case would not hinder the task force's performance. The decision regarding Adriansyah's replacement rests with the Attorney General's Office, Simanjuntak stated, deferring further details to that institution.

Later that will be explained by the Attorney General's Office.

Simanjuntak assured that the task force operates based on a robust system and strong governance, not on individuals. This systematic approach, guided by Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2025, ensures the task force's continued functionality in managing forest areas, overseeing mining and plantation activities, and combating illegal operations. The task force adheres to legal frameworks and its three primary functions, maintaining strict internal controls and regular evaluations to ensure accountability and corrective actions.

The task force's duties have been running smoothly so far.

In parallel, Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, who chairs the Satgas PKH Steering Committee, convened a meeting with task force leaders. The meeting focused on optimizing, synchronizing, and evaluating field operations. Minister Sjafrie underscored the importance of good governance in maintaining the task force's vital role in forest area supervision, administrative fine collection, and state asset recovery. Actions taken by the task force are continuously evaluated based on field findings and data verification, adhering strictly to accountability principles.
