Mahfud MD Apparently Has Many Positions, Even Was Shocked
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD revealed that he held many positions such as Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
This was revealed by Mahfud at the 2023 State Border Management Control Coordination Meeting at the Discovery Ancol Hotel, North Jakarta, Thursday, May 25.
"People say Mr. Luhut has a lot of positions? I also have a lot of positions," Mahfud said as quoted by ANTARA.
In fact, Mahfud was also surprised when he found out that he was a minister and had to have other positions.
"I am the chairman of the BNPP Steering Committee. I was just a bit surprised that there were so many positions in my position," he said with a laugh.
This condition was also revealed when he was invited by the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian to inaugurate the National Border Management Agency (BNPP).
Mahfud said he did not know that he was appointed as the Head of the Steering Committee at BNPP. "Well, the chairman. How come you don't know?" asked Tito.
"Yes, I don't know yet," said Mahfud.
Mahfud also mentioned several other positions, starting from the Chairman of the National Coordination Committee for Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering (TPPU Committee), Head of the Trafficking and Trafficking Task Force (TPPO), Director of the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla), Chairman of the National Police Commission to the Head of the Forest and Land Fire Management Steering Committee (Karhutla).
"That's structural," said Mahfud.

Not only has many structural positions, Mahfud also has an ad hoc position, including as the Head of the ASEAN Political Community and Security Monitoring Team.
Most recently, President Joko Widodo also appointed Mahfud MD as Acting Officer, Authority and Responsibility of the Minister of Communication and Information on Friday (19/5).
"So, brother, the minister's job is very much, even though the salary is greater for SOEs," he added.
