JAKARTA - President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Simon Aloysius Mantiri opened his voice about himself not responding directly to the hectic news related to the corruption case of crude oil governance handled by the Attorney General's Office (AGO).
Simon said that he emphasized that Pertamina fully respects the ongoing investigation process at the Attorney General's Office.
"So I myself don't want to appear first so as not to make things too worse," he said in front of Commission VI of the DPR RI, quoted on Wednesday, March 12.
He also admitted that if he immediately appeared and provided clarification, Pertamina would have a defensive impression on corruption cases involving the main director of Pertamina's subsidiary.
For this reason, he gave the Attorney General's Office the opportunity to enforce the law while Pertamina made improvements and evaluations within the company as a whole. Again, he said, this case occurred long before he joined as President Director of Pertamina.

"And a few days after that too, I was with Pak Wiko (Wadirut Pertamina) and Pak Ega (PTH President Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga), we held a press conference. Of course, even though this incident happened before my era joined," he continued.
As the top leader of Pertamina, he apologized to all Indonesians for the incident and was committed to working hard and restoring public trust.
"Give us the opportunity to work hard and regain the trust and pride of the community," said Simon.
