South Sulawesi KNPI Demands Strict Supervision of Subsidized Fuel Distribution
The Indonesian National Youth Committee (KNPI) of South Sulawesi is urging the government and relevant authorities to increase supervision of public gas stations (SPBU). This step is being taken to ensure that the distribution of subsidized fuel runs smoothly and reaches the people who truly need it.
Concerns have arisen regarding the potential return of long vehicle queues at a number of gas stations. The KNPI believes that weak supervision could trigger the misuse of subsidized fuel by irresponsible parties. Therefore, consistent oversight is considered essential to maintain supply stability in the field.
In addition to supervision, the KNPI also requests that gas station management be more disciplined in serving consumers. They hope there will no longer be practices of filling fuel into jerry cans or modified tanks, which are often the cause of shortages at the retail level. Firmness in enforcing rules is expected to reduce the burden on affected communities.
Responding to this, authorities are expected to immediately coordinate with Pertamina to monitor fuel quotas in the South Sulawesi region. Transparency in distribution is key to preventing public panic. The public is also urged to report immediately if they find any fraud in the fuel filling process at the nearest gas station.
Overall, these tighter supervision efforts aim to maintain the convenience of vehicle users. Through synergy between the government, gas station management, and the public, it is hoped that the distribution of subsidized fuel can be maintained and long queues can be avoided.
