JAKARTA - Commission VII DPR RI recommends that the President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati impose strict sanctions on the President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, Chalid Said Salim.

"Commission VII DPR RI recommends the President Director of PT Pertamina Persero to immediately impose strict and harsh sanctions on the President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, because he has not attended the specific working visit of Commission VII DPR RI to PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam on February 7, 2023 for no reason," said Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Donny Oekon in a Hearing Meeting quoted on Tuesday, April 11.

Previously, several members of Commission VII DPR RI questioned the absence of the President Director of PT PHM, Chalid Salim Said when Commission VII of the DPR RI made a specific visit to the company in East Kalimantan on February 7, 2023, without any information, even clear reasons.

Even though the information related to this activity had been officially conveyed by Commission VII of the DPR RI previously. In fact, after the arrival of Commission VII of the DPR RI to the company, there was also no statement, apology or explanation from Chalid regarding his absence from the Commission VII working visit of the DPR RI some time ago.

The incident began with an interruption filed by Commission VII member Nasril Bahar before the President Director of Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), Wiko Migantoro conveyed his presentation. Nasrim told the chronology of the members of Commission VII who attended the landing at 10.00 am and waited for the presence of the President Director of PHM until 20.00 which was absent without notification.

"I think this is harassment against parliament. Whatever the name, there was no Commission VII award in front of PHM at that time," he continued.

Chalid immediately answered this statement, who was also present at the RDP. Chalid also apologized and explained the reasons for his absence during a specific visit by Commission VII at that time.

"I apologize profusely to Commission VII during a working visit to Balikpapan," said Chalid.

He explained the reason for his absence because at that time he had to attend a meeting with the PHM Commissioner and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) regarding the company's long-term plan.

Responding to an apology from Chalid, Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives Komis VII from the Democratic Party faction Muhammad Nasir then expelled the President Director of PHI from the room.

"You just get out of this room! We also don't want to make your face here! Why? Don't you need to be the president director of people like this. Why be the president director? This is irresponsible. Your responsibility is for the state and we are supervising the regulation of state supervision," said Nasir.
