Coordinating Minister for Economy Hatta Rajasa has said, the Government should keep this quota so as not broken anymore, because it means there should be an additional budget is issued and this should require House approval in advance.
Not to mention, the situation in the Barong Tongkok, West Kutai, East Kalimantan, has not been conducive after outraged against the Dealer Premium and Diesel Oil (the COMPANY 'S) and a GAS STATION in West Kutai, because of the difficulty of getting the FUEL subsidy.
"Pertamina yesterday from BPH and gas already implemented controlling, kuotanya has been reached but there are certain key West Kutai, like where did the excesses of social weight, then it finally released (subsidinya FUEL control)," said Hatta at Istana Negara, Jakarta, Monday (27/11/2012).
So, said Hatta, to certain areas such as the West Kutai emergency nature to prevent the occurrence of conflicts, controlling the supply of FUEL subsidies are removed.
But the Government was frustrated again by fears of membengkaknya quota or ration FUEL subsidies from 44 million KL. This led the Government to squeeze out the brain.
"The solid Areas such as Kutai Barat, can be prone to social. Well this is what we talked about, we've asked Pertamina to what his proposal, then tomorrow I will invite the meeting oil & gas BPH, Pertamina, Minister of finance, all. We are going to discuss. I do not know jitunya solution, but tomorrow we are going to discuss, "said Hatta.
As is known, an additional quota of FUEL subsidy of 4 million the Government making KL mengaluarkan supplementary budget of Rp 15 trillion to Rp 16 trillion this year.
Passing up the quota, then the FUEL subsidy budget in 2012 increase from Rp 137 trillion to Rp 219 billion. Agus Marto said the figure overload the STATE BUDGET.
In the STATE BUDGET-P 2012 budget approved energy subsidy of Rp 225 trillion, with details of FUEL subsidies to Rp 132 trillion, the electric subsidy of Rp 65 billion fiscal reserves, and energy risk Rp 11 trillion.
Earlier, the Chairman of Kadin Bambang Suryo Sulisto said, FUEL subsidies is not right anymore. The local price of FUEL subsidies which is cheaper than a bottle of mineral water, it does not make sense.
According to Suryo, subsidies of energy (FUEL and electricity) which reached almost Rp 300 trillion was judged too large, and discharged only to be burned.
"Imagine if the Rp 300 trillion is diverted to infrastructure and education. Many are feeling the impact, such as the construction of infrastructure, the effect will be to create new jobs, improve the economy, stretching and entrepreneurs would make use of them as well. Compare the subsidies of FUEL and electricity nowadays, yes that is us-we enjoyed this (entrepreneurs) and people are capable of, "he explained.
Report of the Board of managers of the oil and Gas Downstream (BPH and gas) also says, often going smuggling of FUEL subsidy amount was fair. Lastly, there are about 1,700 KL of FUEL subsidies which allegedly smuggled in Borneo. In fact there are also members of the security apparatus who were also backing up the subsidies for FUEL smuggled into the industry.
Even Curfew Jero Wacik admit, during this smuggling of FUEL subsidies more and more because the price of fuel subsidies that are too cheap, namely Rp 4,500 per liter compared to non FUEL subsidies to Rp 9700 per liter.
Jero Wacik was not denied any smuggling of FUEL subsidies. Even according to Jero, the action more smuggling of FUEL subsidies, although there have been many who are caught. This one is caused by the difference in price between the width increasing FUEL subsidies with the non FUEL subsidies.
"We've been catching them, but stow the more longer, more and more of their subterfuge," said Jero.
