JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani is known to have 30 other positions besides being Minister of Finance. Responding to this, the Special Staff of the Minister of Finance, Yustinus Prastowo explained that Sri Mulyani Indrawati was the mandate of the law as ex-officio.
"It is a mandate of the law, ex officio is an order of the law, because his position is not because of the person," he told the media in Jakarta, Friday, March 10.
He added that his role as Minister of Finance caused Sri Mulyani to carry out other tasks that were still related to her duties as state treasurer.
"Whoever the Minister of Finance is, he will be ex-officio will serve there, because in terms of duty, function, inherent responsibility, there must be a Minister of Finance, because it is related to aspects of state treasure," explained Yustinus.
With this ex-officio position, he emphasized that Sri Mualyani did not receive salaries, allowances or honorariums apart from her position as Minister of Finance.
"More importantly, this is not a position that gets salaries, allowances, or honorariums. So actually if we go back, like it or not people are burdened with multiple positions up to 30 but only one income? This is solely done carrying out their duties, functions, finance ministers as state treasurers," said Yustinus.
Previously, while attending the Kick Andy talk show, Sri Mulyani revealed that she held 30 positions apart from being Minister of Finance, including SKK Migas, KSSK, LPS, OJK, BRIN, National Energy Council (DEN), People's Business Credit. "I am now holding a dual position of 30 positions because almost a lot of things have asked the Minister of Finance to either become a deputy chairman, member or all kinds of things. 30 positions I hold," concluded Sri Mulyani.
