Jonan: A Life Must Use A Common Sense

SUMBAWA - In its General Lecture at Sumbawa University of Technology today, Friday (28/4), the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR), Ignasius Jonan said that a life must use a common sense and the learning process should not be limited only in an academic sphere but also in the real world. In life, Jonan also asserted, one, must be realistic; second, to be efficient, third, must it be effective and the fourth must be clean of corruption.

Regarding life must be efficient Jonan explains, for example in the development of new renewable energy such as PLTMH, PLTS and so forth, whatever the source of technology used, the price should be increasingly affordable by the public. Because the electrical challenges are now non-existent or absent, but the price issues that can or can not be reached by the public.

"The price of electricity tariffs must be determined by the State, because I believe that for example the price of electricity is" allowed "not to be regulated by the tariffs for a long time that can afford electricity only the upper middle class, which our brothers and sisters belong to poor and poor vulnerable groups, it Very hard to buy electricity, "said Jonan.

"What is dangerous is the condition, if there has been electricity but people can not afford to buy it, it's incredible pain. So electricity must be there and must be affordable, "said Jonan.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, currently since Indonesia's independence 72 years ago, there are still 5,000 villages that enjoy electricity and 10,000 more are enjoying electricity at a minimum. "Electrified areas are not yet electrified and electricity is simple, this is the work to be done And do not let the front electricity cord home our brothers should be able to buy electricity. If there is and can not afford, this is a danger "added Jonan. (NA)
