Ricky previously served as CEO of PT Paper Leces (Persero), a company that until now encountered by financial difficulties.
The company operation in Probolinggo, East Java, threatened with bankruptcy due to its 1.6 trillion IDR debt.
"Indeed, Ricky's appointment was done through a fit and proper test, but it turns out from the other side that he was proven incompetent to perform his role as CEO of PT Kertas Leces," Iskan explained.
He added that the condition of the company during the Ricky's leadership never escape from adversity.
