President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono inaugurated five deputy ministers and the new chief of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) on Wednesday morning at the State Palace.
The new top officials are Deputy Agriculture Minister Bayu Krisnamurthi, Deputy Transportation Minister Bambang Susantono, Deputy Trade Minister Mahendra Siregar, Deputy Public Works Minister Hermanto Dardak, Deputy Industry Minister Alex Retraubun and BKPM head Gita Wiryawan.
Gita's appointment as the head of the BKPM was announced at the same time as the Cabinet last month, but his inauguration was delayed. No reason has been given for the delay.
State Secretary Sudi Silalahi said Tuesday the five new deputy ministers all had solid professional grounding, in accordance with the 2008 State Ministries Law stipulating that deputy ministers be professionals in their fields.
Sudi said the inauguration of the five deputy ministers would be a first wave, as Yudhoyono planned to appoint at least half a dozen more deputy ministers.
