"Our target is to accelerate the achievement of the one-price fuel program so that it will be completed by the end of April," he said.

He explained that the presence of the one fuel program in Papua was very beneficial, one of which was helping to move the community's economic sector, but indeed in terms of business entrepreneurs had not felt the impact so that his party would continue to make improvements to the purchase of fuel.

"We continue to make improvements to the purchase of one price of fuel so that the benefits are more targeted," he said again.
