By Godang Sitompul

State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan has confirmed that two commissioner members of state owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina, Umar Said, who was also Deputy Chief Commissioner, and Hengky Triharyo Susilo have left their posts.

Minister Dahlan said Umar Said?s position will remain vacant while Triharyo is replaced by Harry Susettyo Nugroho, previously an expert staff at the State Enterprise Minister.

Dahlan declined to elaborate whether the two commissioners were dismissed or stepped down on their own initiative.

Vice President for Communication of Pertamina, M Harun, refused to comment when contacted by Petromindo.com, simply saying that it was the authority of State Enterprise Minister.
