Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita inaugurated seven echelon II officials in an effort to support the performance of the agency and development of a better national manufacturing industry.
The selection process itself has gone through an open stage since the beginning with administrative selection, assessment, presentation, and interview.
The seven inaugurated echelon II officials include Director of Chemical Industry Hulu Putu Nadi Astuti, Director of the Electronics and Telematics Industry Priyadi Arie Nugroho, Director of International Industry Access Tri Supondy, and Head of the Arnes Industrial Human Resources Education and Training Center Lukman.
Furthermore, the Head of the Center for Standardization and Industrial Services for Rubber, Skin and Plastic Services, Hagung Eko Pawoko, Head of the Center for Standardization and Services for Prevention and Pollution of Sidik Herman Industry, as well as Head of the Center for Standardization and Services of Plantation Products Industry, Metal Minerals, and Maritime Shinta Virdhian.
Minister of Industry Agus said it was not easy for him to choose among the best, because the selection participants were cadres of the Ministry of Industry whose quality was good and relatively young. "This means that I have to choose the best from the good. In football, it's like I have to choose a kind of best player, that's not an easy thing," he said in his written statement, quoted on Saturday, April 1.
Agus also asked the inaugurated officials to work optimally, quickly and carefully, uphold the principles of good governance, and always think out of the box. This is to support the creation of strategic policies.
"For all ranks within the Ministry of Industry, I advise you to continue and focus on working with confidence, without having to involve intervention from other parties. Strictly speaking to institutions only to the Ministry of Industry, not the Minister of Industry," he said.
On this occasion, Minister of Industry Agus also stated the challenges that will be faced in efforts to develop the industrial sector in the country. "In the future it will not be easy, work must be focused on building targets that show ambitions with measurability. Optimism must be built through a policy orchestration that is measurable and streamlined, so that it can become a reality," he said.
Therefore, he said, the target of the National Industrial Development Master Plan (RIPIN) needs to continue to be pursued according to what has been set.
"We must dare to show an ambitious target, not only qualitative, but also quantitative, because this RIPIN will be our guide in the future, including the next Minister of Industry," Agus explained.
In addition, Agus continued, the selection process this time gave confidence to him that many quality young cadres within the Ministry of Industry are ready to take leadership batons.
"For that, I advise those who are elected, please don't waste this opportunity, you represent your good work friends," he said.
