Deputy Speaker Of The House Of Representatives Asks For An Open Meeting Of Commission X-Minister Of Education And Technology To Answer Rumors Of 'Minister Of Anger'

JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker (Waka) of the Indonesian House of Representatives Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal asked for a working meeting of Commission X of the House of Representatives together with the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology (Mendiktisaintek) Satryo Soemantri to be held openly. This is to find out the answer to the 'merged Minister' rumors that are in the spotlight.

It is known, as many as 235 ASN Kemendikti Saintek held demonstrations as a form of protest against the arbitrary decision of the Minister of Education and Technology, Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro. Where Minister Satryo fired and rotated his staff.

"Regarding the things that are now being discussed in public, for sure, yes, actually, friends of Commission X do not need to also make meetings closed, please make a meeting openly. This will be better for the minister if the meeting is opened openly, convey it to the public," said Cucun at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 23.

"If nothing refutes it means it's true, he's not doing anything like what's circulating in the media now," he continued.

For information, Commission X of the DPR held a working meeting with the Minister of Education and Technology, Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro this afternoon. The meeting was held behind closed doors with an agenda for discussing the budget.

"So my advice to Commission X is now a meeting, especially regarding budgets, budget adjustments, program bribery, institutions, there is no need for closed meetings," said Cucun.

"Let everything be clear, right. The minister, if it's not wrong, he can also ask for it to be clear in the public, if for example, one day someone argued that it was right to do that, the risk would be accepted by himself," he concluded.
