PURNOMO BIDS 'GOODBYE' TO ENERGY MINISTRY


The Jakarta globe reported that, In what could be construed as a resignation speech from a government official — but perhaps wasn’t — controversial Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro bid all his employees goodbye on Monday, and hinted that he wouldn’t be back in the job after a new cabinet is named later this month.

After nine years at the powerful ministry, which oversees trillions of rupiah in energy investment and revenue, Purnomo told his subordinates that it was time for him to give up his post.

“Nothing lasts forever. Everything has an end,” he said. “Please forgive all my faults during my term at the ministry.”

Purnomo has occasionally expressed his desire to resign from the post over the years, but has held on to the position anyway.

However, when later asked whether this “goodbye” meant he was likely to leave the government for good, Purnomo refused to comment, saying it was “up to the president” to decide.

Speculation is increasing that the government may create a higher coordinating ministry to oversee the country’s natural resources. Purnomo has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the job. He is also believed to be lobbying for the posts of either trade or industry minister, two separate positions that may also be merged under the new government.

Analysts have said Purnomo may have a chance to fill the position of chief economics minister if acting minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is made to vacate the post.

Raden Priyono, the head of upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas, said he believes Purnomo would most likely take on a more senior position, while his current director general, Evita Legowo, would replace him. “Evita will most likely be the new energy minister,” he said.

Waryono Karyono, secretary general at the Energy Ministry, concurred that Evita was Purnomo’s most likely replacement.

Evita declined to comment.

Two analysts criticized Purnomo’s performance as energy minister, saying they would be glad to see him go. Kurtubi, an independent energy analyst, said oil and gas output consistently declined during Purnomo’s tenure, from more than a million barrels in 2000 to 960,000 barrels currently . “Purnomo has failed to increase investment in the sector. Meanwhile, state revenue from energy resources kept decreasing,” Kurtubi said.

“Domestic needs were not covered well under Purnomo’s rule,” said Pri Agung Rakhmanto, an energy analyst at the Reforminer Institute. “That is why Indonesia is suffering from an energy crisis.”
