JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia asked for the support of Commission XII of the DPR RI to form the Directorate General of Law Enforcement within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

"But I ask all of you to help, please support this, Director General of Law and Human Rights, please support it very much because it must be his seduction, the temptation is many of these Director Generals. I'm honest. So I also ask, if we want a commitment, we make this good stuff, come on," said Bahlil quoted Thursday, November 14.

Bahlil said that the formation of the Directorate General of Law and Human Rights was in accordance with the mandate of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 169 of 2024 concerning the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Not only that, Bahlil also said that currently his ministry has also prepared a structure of the Directorate General of Law and Human Rights so that in the near future he will be able to resolve problems related to illegal mining and illegal oil drilling.

"Don't let me take 7 steps, my friends say, boss, don't forget 7 steps, Boss 4 steps back first". Well, when this has been agreed, I also like to touch this item," continued Bahlil.

Bahlil said that the formation of Gakkum was necessary because illegal oil drilling so far has reached 7,000 to 8,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD).

According to him, if the government has maximized the role of the Directorate General of Law and Human Rights, then his party can immediately ask Pertamina to buy at an economic price even though they are like core plasma.
