President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono must make a decision regarding the Donggi-Senoro gas field so that the US$3.7 million worth project could be continued, a legislator said.

Lawmaker Sutan Bhatoegana of the Democrat Party Faction of the House of Reprsentatives (DPR) said here on Tuesday that the president had to taken over the problem.

"Vice President Boediono should take the Senoro gas field issue to a cabinet meeting so that the cabinet could decide the continuation of the project," Bhatoegana said.

Vice Presidential Spokesman Yopie Hidayat said earlier that the vice president had no authority to decide on the Senoro gas field project.

The vice president was considering whether the decision on the continuation of the Senoro project should be decided by a cabinet meeting or only by the minister of energy and mineral resources.

"If the problem needs to involve relevant ministries, the decision should then be made in a cabinet meeting. But if the problem is simple it could be decided by the energy and mineral resources minister only," Yopie said.
