tate-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarsono has declined to comment on a report on the appointment of state-owned plantation company PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Holding) president director Elia Massa Manik as the new CEO of state-owned energy company Pertamina, tempo.co reported on Wednesday.

Dwi and his deputy, Ahmad Bambang, lost their positions after a rift that Pertamina commissioners felt had affected the company's performance.

Tempo.co reported that sources at the State Palace and State-owned Enterprises Ministry confirmed Elia's appointment, saying that Elia, as an outsider of the company, was the right person for the position. (bbn)
