The highly anticipated Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Staatsolie, scheduled for today, was abruptly canceled at the last minute. The meeting, convened by Board Chairman Gonda Asadang and the Ministry of Natural Resources (NH), was set to address critical governance changes within the company. Notably, the Ministry of Oil & Gas, which oversees policy in the sector, appeared conspicuously absent from the discussions. The primary agenda items included the resignation of current Board of Commissioners (BOC) members and the appointment of new appointees: Rudolf Elias (Chairman), Sergio Akiemboto (Chief of Staff at the President’s Office), Aroon Samjhawan, Ewald Poetisi, Rudie Chin Jen Sem, Chantal Doekhie, and Edgar Caffé. Staatsolie’s Managing Director, Annand Jagesar, confirmed to Starnieuws that the management was informed of the cancellation this morning. ‘We were notified that the EGM will not proceed today. Beyond that, the management is unaware of the reasons behind this decision,’ Jagesar stated. According to Staatsolie’s statutes, an EGM must be convened at least 15 days in advance, though deviations can be approved during the meeting itself. The reasons for the postponement and the new date for the meeting remain undisclosed, leaving stakeholders in the dark about the future of the company’s leadership.
