JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI DPR RI I Nyoman Parta revealed that he found at least 21 locations for mixing 3 kg LPG gas in electoral districts (Dapil) in Bali.

"21 polling locations in Bali. Why do they sell in Bali, because businesses are developing in Bali," Nyoman said in a Hearing Meeting with Commission VI, Wednesday, June 12.

With this mixing, the selling price of gas becomes cheaper so that more and more people buy it.

Nyoman also gave an example that 3kg LPG gas was moved to 12 kg or 50 kg of cylinders. Later, the 50 kg LPG, which is usually priced at Rp. 950,000 to Rp. 1 million, is only Rp. 700,000. Likewise, the 12 kg gas cylinder which is usually priced at Rp. 210,000 to only Rp. 150,000

On the same occasion, Nyoman asked Pertamina to immediately take action against the perpetrators of mixing 3 kg LPG gas which was widely carried out in Bali. Moreover, he said, recently there was an explosion in Bali that killed 3 people and 11 of them were injured by more than 80 percent.

"I have conveyed the location to the perpetrator. I sent it to Pertamina but there was no follow-up. Subsidy gas entered the wrong place, it was mixed for crime. Even people who do not have the right to use gas 3," explained Nyoman.

For this reason, he invited the Deputy Director of Pertamina, Wiko Migantoro, to bring the oil and gas task force to Bali to conduct a further review regarding the complaints that had been made previously.

"Please bring the oil and gas task force to Bali. I will give you the location," concluded Nyoman.
