Indonesia: Oil Refinery Project Stays in Bontang
The government ensured the public that the oil refinery project in Bontang
will not be relocated to other region. President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo gave
his words during a work visit to Balikpapan, Monday, December 5, 2016.
"For oil refinery and fertilizer zone projects; I assure you they will not
be relocated to other provices-they stay in East Kalimantan," Jokowi said
when handing over 1,183 land certificates for the 2016 strategic land
certification program in 2016 in Balikpapan.
Jokowi's statement was made in response to East Kalimantan Governor Awang
Faroek Ishak's message from the public, requesting the 350-bpd refinery
project to stay in Bontang.
The president also said that the Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road construction
will continue now that the land acquisition process is completed.
"We will finish it by no later than late 2018," Jokowi said.
The president also said that his administration wishes for a speedy
development that will benefit the people. "If road [infrastructure] is
completed, logistics cost for staple goods will go down. Transportation
fares will be cheap, and prices of goods will decline eventually," he said.
