Called JK Not considered minister, Rizal Ramli: Liar



[ad_1]

Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – Rizal Ramli spoke about the statement made by former Vice President Jusuf Kalla, who said he was not considered a minister.

Per account Twitter officially, @RamliRizal, on Saturday (7/11/2020), the former coordinating minister of Economy and Finance considered that JK’s claim was not true.

According to him, the sixth president of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has agreed with him the position of coordinating minister. However, he did not accept the position because JK, who in 2004-2009 accompanied SBY as vice president, did not give the ‘blessing’.

“It turns out that JK is the king of lies. SBY called RR to Cikeas a week before the cabinet appointment. Wong made headlines on TV2, “the account said.

As is known, previously JK, through the Karni Ilyas Club YouTube channel, evaluated Rizal Ramli as a smart figure in the economic sphere. However, Jusuf Kalla (JK) said that Rizal did not have a good ability to lead his subordinates.

This had an impact on his performance as a minister. It’s no wonder Rizal never served as a minister during the SBY and Jokowi presidencies. “The talk is big, but people can’t lead,” JK said on the Karni Ilyas Club YouTube channel on Saturday (7/11/2020).

This is an important reason why Rizal Ramli was removed from his post as Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs in 2016.

Jusuf Kalla also said that Rizal Ramli was never counted as a minister, not during the leadership of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) or Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

Meanwhile, this statement was a response to the earlier indictment by Rizal Ramli, who said that JK was deliberately approached several times to become Minister of Finance or BUMN during the SBY era or Coordinating Minister of Economy during Jokowi’s first term.

JK also said that during the first term of SBY’s leadership, Rizal had already lobbied in various places. At the same time he mentioned Rizal, it was rumored that he had been appointed as Minister of Finance or Minister of BUMN.

“At that time, all ministerial candidates were interviewed by Pak SBY. But he is [Rizal Ramli] never summoned, so it’s not okay for me to ban it. In fact, Pak SBY has never considered it. If it had been calculated, they would have cited it, ”he said.
