It is hard to meet with Mega: Agum

CIREBON, West Java: Communications minister Agum Gumelar said
on Saturday he has had difficulty securing a meeting with
President Megawati Soekarnoputri since agreeing to be Hamzah
Haz's vice presidential candidate in the July 5 presidential
election.

He said earlier that he wanted to quit the Cabinet after being
selected as the running mate for presidential candidate Hamzah
Haz. However, he has yet to tender his resignation to Megawati.

"Up to now, I have not met (with the President) because she is
very busy. I do not feel it is a political matter, rather it is a
technical one," Agum said.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is now the presidential
candidate for the Democratic Party, had difficulty setting up a
meeting with Megawati when he wanted to resign as the chief
security minister. --JP
