s he prepares to assume his new position in mere days, newly elected Financial Services Authority (OJK) chairman Wimboh Santoso took the time to pay a friendly visit to Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution on the second day of Idul Fitri on Monday.
He came to Darmin’s official residence at the Widya Chandra Ministerial housing complex in South Jakarta to celebrate the holy festivities.
The current president commissioner of state-owned lender Bank Mandiri spoke to Darmin for about 30 minutes.
Wimboh, along with six other newly elected commissioners, will be sworn in at the Supreme Court on July 21 for the 2017-2022 period.
They will replace the current board of commissioners chaired by Muliaman D Hadad.
Wimboh said he decided to stay in Jakarta during Idul Fitri this year, but conceded to missing his hometown of Boyolali, Central Java, particularly the city’s signature dishes, such as satay, gulai (thick curry), tongseng kambing (lamb stew) and timlo (clear soup filled with various garnishes).
“I like all dishes [from Boyolali]. They are all delicious,” Wimboh said. (tas)
