Jakarta, Aktual.com – After Arcandra Tahar dismissal as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Executive Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Joko Widodo urged the president to immediately select and Energy Minister definitive to avoid a leadership vacuum for too long.
According to the Director IESR, Fabby Tumiwa, with the existence of a definitive minister would provide certainty to businesses and stakeholders as well as providing assurance of the sustainability of policies and regulations in the energy sector and mineral resources.
“Scandal citizenship Minister has eroded public trust and businesses to the government’s credibility and leadership in the Ministry of Energy. Appointment Luhut Binsar Panjaitan as Acting Minister (PLT) would not last too long, given the perceived Luhut involved in the appointment process Acandra as Minister ended tragically. Luhut also not exact figures as the Minister of Energy,” he said in Jakarta, Tuesday (16/8).
According to him, the figure of Luhut full with conflicts of interest in the energy and minerals sector through his company, PT Toba Sejahtera which has four mining concessions of coal, oil and gas blocks East Madura, and a number of power plants among other Palu power plant.
IESR looked at the energy and mineral resources in Indonesia could become an easy target for collectors of rents and business opportunist if not monitored and regulated.
“In the next two years there were 22 labor contracts in oil and gas working areas will end. If not supervised, can open up the possibility of the emergence of rent-seeking practices despite existing EMR Ministerial Regulation No. 15/2015 which can be changed because of the status that only a regulation,” he said.
While the sector and coal, there are chances of the game renegotiate contracts in the mining and PKP2B and the continuity of structuring IUP (license) related to the status of Clean and Clear (CnC) where there are arrears of non-tax revenues worth 25 trillion, which is paid by the holder of IUP and PKP2B, as well as the price of generating mine mouth, and the downstream policy.
For that he hoped President Jokowi must choose the figure and Energy Minister who has the credibility, integrity and capable, do not have the sins of the past and is not involved in businesses in the energy sector.
In addition IESR instead PLT Minister did not make strategic decisions related to policy and refreshment organization in the Ministry of Energy. This needs to be done so that no hostage Minister definitive later in the day.
