JAKARTA - Member of Commission VII DPR RI from the PKS faction, Mulyanto urged the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate alleged corruption in non-tax state revenue (PNBP) at the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. According to him, this is an entry point to dismantle other bigger corruption in the ministry.
"The KPK's move to examine allegations of corruption in bureaucratic performance allowances at the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal is good, especially when it comes to more material matters, such as irregularities in PNBP of coal, nickel, and others. Of course, we don't want the KPK to stop at this performance allowance corruption case," said Mulyanto in his statement, Saturday, April 8.
According to the PKS legislator for the Banten electoral area, corruption practices in the mineral and coal sector need attention because this sector can optimize state revenues. Both through tax and non-tax mechanisms, which in turn can improve people's welfare.
"Previously, the state budget surplus occurred because it was driven by state revenue from this commodity, when international prices increased. Moreover, if a more proportional progressive PNBP of coal is applied, state revenue will automatically skyrocket," explained Mulyanto.
