Regarding the position of Secretary of the Defense Industry Policy Committee (KKIP) that Trenggono recently held, Dahnil said that the position was ex officio or a concurrent position in the ministry. This means that anyone serving as a wamenhan will automatically serve as KKIP’s secretary.

“Whoever is the Deputy Minister of Defense will automatically be the Secretary of the KKIP,” he said.
