PENGANGKATAN DIREKTUR UTAMA BULOG DARI PERWIRA TENTARA NASIONAL INDONESIA BERDASARKAN PERATURAN PERUNDANG-UNDANGAN

Abstract

The appointment of TNI officers in civilian positions again sparked discussions in the Indonesian constitution, especially when placements were made in State-Owned Enterprises. One example is the inauguration of a TNI officer as President Director of a Bulog public company. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the appointment with the applicable legal provisions in accordance with Law No. 3 of 2025 on the military and Law No. 16 of 2025 on State-Owned Enterprises. The research method used in this study is normative legal research with the approach of legislation. This study shows that there is a discrepancy and misalignment between the TNI law and the State-Owned Enterprise Law, especially with regard to restrictions on the placement of TNI soldiers in civilian positions. Although the Bulog public company plays an important role in maintaining national food security, institutionally it remains within the realm of State-Owned Enterprises and cannot be considered a state defense institution under the TNI law. Therefore, the inauguration of TNI officers as President Director of Bulog is not in accordance with the principles of legality, legal certainty, and the principle of civil supremacy.
