JAKARTA - Presidential Advisor for Defense, General Purn. Dudung Abdurachman, gave a strong signal that he would be inaugurated in a new position at the Presidential Palace. However, until the last moment, the position to be filled has not been announced.
Dudung said he had been summoned to attend the mock inauguration at the Presidential Palace, Monday, April 27.
"I was called to prepare for the palace at 2.15 for a rehearsal, at 3 for the inauguration," said Dudung.
When asked about the position he would take, he did not answer firmly.
"Later we will see what it is," he said.
Since yesterday, there have been rumors that Dudung will fill the position of Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP). However, the question was not answered directly.
If he really moves positions, Dudung hints that his old position will not be held for long.
"Maybe later in the near future it will be handed over to the old one," said the former KSAD.
Regarding the possibility of stepping down from his current position, Dudung chose to wait for the President's decision.
"Later the President's instructions," he said.
He admitted that he had received instructions regarding the duties of the KSP, especially in controlling and overseeing national priority programs. However, more detailed explanations will only be given after the inauguration.
"The instructions are there. Later I will explain after being inaugurated," he said.
Dudung also confirmed that he had coordinated with the previous official, Qodari.
"Yes, yes," he said briefly.
When asked about the reason for accepting the assignment, Dudung emphasized his position as a soldier.
"I am a soldier, I must be ready, especially the President's order," said Dudung.
Until this news was written, the Palace had not officially announced the position that Dudung would fill. However, the series of gladiations and Dudung's statements indicate a change in position in the inner circle of the Palace is just a matter of time.
