President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has denied that he will replace Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati with the head of the Fiscal Policy Agency Anggito Abimanyu in connection with the Rp 6.7 trillion (US$ 736.84 million) Century Bank bailout scandal.
“The information is not true. There is no official statement about changing Mulyani and Anggito Abimanyu,” the presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said in Ngawi, East Java on Monday.
He told tempointeraktif.com that the president had not held any meetings to discuss a possible cabinet reshuffle.
Some politicians from the Golongan Karya (Golkar) party have said that the president may reached an agreement with its chairman Aburizal Bakrie to replace the minister with Anggito in February.
Several other sources have said that Yudhoyono was disappointed with Mulyani's decision, made during a meeting with then Bank Indonesia (BI) governor Boediono in November 2008, to salvage the bank using bailout funds.
The sources, who asked for anonymity, said the disappointment was more due to the minister's failure to consult with the president on the bailout decision, although Sri Mulyani has insisted she reported all her moves. (ewd)
