REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Deputy of Financial Control in Upstream Oil and Gas regulatory special task force (SKK Migas), Wibowo Suseno Wirjawan asked Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Jusuf Kalla through the new government to speed up the energy sector development. It aims to remove Indonesian label as 'the net importer of energy' in next five years.
"It needs a strong political of new government to make a breakthrough that Indonesian energy resources can be used optimally," Wirjawan said on Wednesday.

Fourth, creating a procurement system and energy distribution to reduce mafia practises and increasing the efficiency costs and budget savings. Fifth, making the planning targets.
