Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini Denies Rumors of a Ministerial Position

The Jakarta Globe, Oct 20, 2014


Jakarta. Popular Surabaya mayor Tri Rismaharini has denied reports she has been offered a ministerial post in Joko Widodo’s government, saying she does not have any intention of stepping down as the city’s mayor.

“I told Bu Mega a long time ago that I do not wish to be a minister,” Rismaharini said on Monday, referring to Megawati Soekarnoputri, the chairwoman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).

The composition of Joko’s cabinet is shrouded in mystery, with the names of who will lead the 34 ministers still unannounced, despite Joko taking over leadership of the world’s third-largest democracy from Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono today.

Rismaharini, who spoke with reporters at the House of Representatives (DPR) in Senayan this morning, said she has not been offered a position in cabinet — shooting down rumors that she had.

“I hope Indonesia will be more prosperous and I believe Jokowi [and] JK will be able to make our people prosper,” she said.

Rismaharini is one of hundreds of leaders from across Indonesia and around the world attending Joko’s inauguration as Indonesia’s seventh president.

Een paar maanden vóór de verkiezingen, was zij al druk bezig te lonken naar de huidige nieuwe President en was zij druk bezig om allerlei "vernieuwende maatregelen" uit te roepen en door te zetten, waaronder de sluiting van Gang Dolly te Surabaya.
Zij ging zelfs naar JKT toe om aan de zijde van de huidige nieuwe President ook maar her en der de kleine man uit JKT de handjes te schudden en hen een lieflijke smile toe te werpen.

Quote uit bericht van Oom K hiervoor geplaatst: ...saying she does not have any intention of stepping down as the city’s mayor..... Ammeoela, koffers staan al lang gepakt. Enkel het fluitje afwachten and there she goes, mits natuurljk er wordt gefloten

Oi-yoi-yoi, je weet toch wel mas Henri, it is a woman's priviledge to change her mind, even if it means to tell a little white lie!

Saludos,

Yeah yeah, I know..... but..


Jakarta's folks have to beware if she becomes member of the pemerintah, taking in mind the sound of her voice when she gets upset.... A Pasar Pabean lady's voice would sound like a nightingale compared to hers (mayor).

Just put on the speakers on top volume and even a momok will ran away:

waduh,

Daar wil je niet samen mee gezien worden, laat staan regeren..
Zo ordinair..
