JAKARTA - Member of Commission VII DPR RI Mulyanto doubts the use of granting Special Mining Business Permits (IUPK) from the former Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement (PKP2B) to a number of religious organizations. As previously known, President Joko Widodo had signed the regulation on May 30.

Mulyanto is worried that the provision of IUPK priorities to religious organizations will make the governance of the mining world more fragile.

"Now the problem of illegal mining is like a tangled thread. Not to mention the allegation of high-ranking officers making various cases of roads on the spot. Meanwhile, the formation of the Illegal Mining Integrated Task Force to this day has not made any significant progress, everything is still homework that must be resolved," said Mulyanto, quoted on Monday, June 3.

Mulyanto assessed that the president failed to determine the priority scale of the mineral and coal management policy. According to him, currently what is needed is strengthening the supervision instrument for the management of mineral and coal mining, not distributing permits.

"Currently, two former Director General of Mineral and Coal are suspects, even convicts. And to this day the Director General of Mineral and Coal has not been definitive," he said.

This means, said Mulyanto, the government is not serious about managing national mining. The government still makes IUPK a commodity of political transactions with certain groups.

"I have read the revision of the Minerba PP which has just been signed by the President. It is written that what is given priority for the IUPK is a 'business entity' owned by religious organizations," he explained.

The priority IUPK is given to business entities, not to Religious Organizations themselves. Regulations seem to be justified and still in accordance with the Minerba Law. However, from a political point of view, this effort is very clear as a motive for distributing economic cakes.

For this reason, Mulyanto said that the performance of the business bada will need to be monitored whether it is really professional in carrying out its mining RKAB properly, then contributing to increasing state financial revenue (PNBP).

"Or just a fake business entity, ali-baba company. In front of the religious organizations in it are the companies that are the same," explained Mulyanto.

Mulyanto admitted that he was pessimistic about the performance of business entities belonging to mass organizations later.

"In the end, in the field, who actually manages the mining business entity. Is it really a new professional player or entrepreneur who is also the ruler of the former PKP2B or its affiliate. Including the actual number of shares, how much is the stock of the mass organization. Is it really the controlling stock or just a name, "concluded Mulyanto.
