"This case has surprised us all," said Andre Rosiade, the deputy chair of the DPR's Commission VI, on Friday.
He said that Pertamina has been summoned for the meeting on March 12 because Commission XII, which oversees energy, mineral resources, the environment, and investment, had previously met with company officials.
Regarding the corruption related to fuel processing, specifically the blending of RON 90 (Pertalite) into RON 92 (Pertamax), he emphasized that relevant stakeholders have provided clarifications on the matter.
"I believe Pertamina's explanation has been clear, and the clarifications from Commission XII members and the Attorney General's Office were also clear that no blending has occurred. Consumers can confidently use Pertamina products," he said.
For this reason, he urged the public not to hesitate to use Pertamina fuel due to concerns over its quality.
"We advise the public, Pertamina consumers, not to worry because we have verified it, and the Attorney General's Office has confirmed that Pertamax retains its original quality and is not a blended product," he said.
He also reaffirmed the DPR's commitment to continue overseeing the case, which has attracted public attention.
