President Prabowo is angry at the practice of manipulating energy sector prices: Mark Up is stealing in the dark

BALIKPAPAN - President Prabowo Subianto reminded the leadership of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to work honestly, clean, and oriented towards the interests of the people.

The message was conveyed by President Prabowo when inaugurating the Pertamina RDMP Balikpapan Integrated Energy Infrastructure, East Kalimantan, Monday, January 12.

In his message, President Prabowo also reminded that for officials in SOEs who are unable to carry out this mandate, they are asked to resign from their positions.

President Prabowo Subianto also admitted that he was annoyed with the practice of a number of SOEs directors who still asked for tantiem even though the companies they managed had recorded losses.

According to him, this action is unacceptable because it is not in line with the performance and responsibilities undertaken.

In addition, President Prabowo Subianto also touched on the practice of mark up in the energy sector which uses imports as an opportunity to manipulate prices.

The inflation or mark up, according to President Prabowo is fraud and theft.
