Jokowi fired the official in connection with steps to import pipes for the Pertamina project. This is not in accordance with the rules for using the domestic component level (TKDN).
“Making pipes, it used to be Pertamina. Pertamina is carelessly begging for mercy. It still imports pipes even though they can be made in Indonesia. How is that?” Luhut said.
However, Luhut did not want to reveal the names of the related officials.
