President Megawati Soekarnoputri still retained Purnomo Yusgiantoro as the Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources in the new Cabinet team to be announced at 11 a.m. Jakarta time, according to a very reliable source.
The source also said that former Indonesian Ambassador for the U.S. Dorodjatun Kuntjorojakti, and former chief of the National Development and Planning Agency (Bappenas) Boediono had been appointed respectively as the coordinating minister for the economy, and finance minister.
?Purnomo still retains his position,? the source told Petromindo.com.
There has been rumors earlier that Megawati might pick Hatara Jasa to replace Purnomo. Hatara is the candidate from a group of small Muslim parties, which also recently helped Megawati to win the presidency.(Alex)
