HATTA RADJASA DENIES SRI MULYANI REPLACED
Jakarta, Jan 18 (ANTARA) - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Hatta Radjasa on Monday categorically denied rumors about an impending cabinet reshuffle which would include the replacement of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati.
"The rumors are not true. It is also not true that Sri Mulyani has been suspended or replaced," Radjasa said after a meeting at the vice presidential office on Monday.
He said there had been no discussion at all about a cabinet reshuffle and therefore the rumors were misleading because the cabinet was until now functioning normally and as usual.
Quoting anonymous sources, the Jakarta Post daily reported on Monday that Golkar Party chairman Aburizal (Ical) Bakrie and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had reached an agreement to replace Sri Mulyani with Fiscal Policy Agency head Anggito Abimanyu who was considered to be close to both Ical and Hatta Radjasa, one of the president's most trusted aides.
But Golkar deputy secretary general Lalu Mara Satriawangsa denied the report that Ical, as Aburizal is popularly called, had agreed with President Yudhoyono to replace Sri Mulyani.
Lalu Mara swore that Aburizal did not have a meeting with President Yudhoyono to discuss a cabinet reshuffle, Sri Mulyani's replacement in particular.
"Golkar's support for the formation of the House Bank Century Inquiry Committee (Pansus) is by no means an indication Golkar intends to oust a certain minister but merely it wants to help find the truth to make President Yudhoyono's government even stronger in the storm of gossip," said Lalu Mara acting as Aburizal Bakrie's spokesman.
Meanwhile, Minister/State Secretary Sudi Silalahi also denied the rumor that President Yudhoyono and Ical had met to discuss a cabinet reshuffle.
Silalahi made the denial when accompanying President Yudhoyono in a working visit to Madiun, East Java, on Monday.
"President Yudhoyono has the right to meet with any figure but he has not discussed a cabinet reshuffle," Sudi said on the sidelines of a rain-tree planting drive led by the president around the Bening Widas Dam here.
Besides Silalahi, presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha also bluntly denied the rumor about an SBY-Ical meeting.
"Where is the information from? It is not true that there was a discussion about a cabinet reshuffle," said the presidential spokesman.
