JAKARTA - Member of Commission VII DPR Diah Nurwitasari encourages adequate infrastructure development to support the connection of household gas networks.

The connection to the household gas network, which is targeted at one million each year, only moves at a few tens of thousands. This step is still too small. So we really have to be very serious to encourage infrastructure development going forward," said Diah in a written statement, quoted from Antara, Saturday, April 20.

According to him, with all the infrastructure development that empowers Indonesia's natural gas potential in the future, it will further create many households who can feel the benefits of gas as an energy source.

Diah added that the potential that was not utilized had an impact on decreasing the use of LPG.

"Maybe not in the near future, but serious steps should be taken that way," said Diah.

He said that the use of LPG by the community made the state contribute a very large subsidy.

"We hope that when the state starts switching (from using LPG) and can use household gas networks, the subsidy for LPG will decrease and the budget can be used for other developments," said Diah.

In addition, Diah also encourages firm communication with the Revenue Sharing Funds carried out by the local government. He emphasized that he would continue to be escorted in the hope that it could be useful for the surrounding community.

Diah explained that the profit-sharing fund is half of the local district budget.

"Of course it needs to be monitored continuously and must know what the allocation looks like. We need to first communicate and clarify with the local district government. If indeed the profit sharing fund is not optimally directed, of course we can provide optimal solutions to them," he said.
