Andung or Fahmi? Neither shows up<\/p>\n
Antara, Sanur, Bali<\/p>\n
Confusion over the Cabinet reshuffle has resulted in the absence
\nof the minister of industry -- both outgoing Andung A.
\nNitimihardja and incoming Fahmi Idris -- at a ministry's forum in
\nSanur, Bali.<\/p>\n
"The organizers had actually arranged accommodation for both
\nPak Andung and Pak Fahmi ... but the two were not certain they
\ncould attend the event," the ministry's secretary-general Agus
\nTjahajana said on Tuesday after opening the forum.<\/p>\n
The four-day forum on "Developing Industrial Clusters", to
\ntake place between Dec. 5 and Dec. 8, was originally scheduled to
\nbe opened by Andung before President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
\nannounced on Monday night in Yogyakarta a reshuffle of his
\neconomics team.<\/p>\n
"But Pak Andung asked me what his role would be in coming to
\nBali as he is no longer the industry minister," Agus quoted
\nAndung.<\/p>\n
Andung was replaced by Fahmi, previously minister of manpower
\nin Susilo's Cabinet, and the President "was still looking for a
\nposition for him".<\/p>\n
Agus said he received a similar response from Fahmi.<\/p>\n
"I haven't been sworn in as industry minister," he quoted
\nFahmi.<\/p>\n
Agus opened the forum in the absence of the two officials.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/andung-or-fahmi-neither-shows-up-1447893297", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
