20 October 2023 at 11:32 E24: Friend of the Minister of Industry got a leadership position A friend of the Minister of Industry Jan Christian Vestre (Ap) has several times been given interim leadership positions in the minister’s ministry, reports E24. Only when she applied for a permanent job was Vestre asked to assess her own competence, the newspaper writes. – The fact that we are friends, and the fact that getting a position as department director is an advantage, means that I am incompetent or close to being incompetent in the matter of appointment. I assume that I have been incompetent, or close to being incompetent, at the three administrative decisions, says Vestre to E24. The newspaper spoke to Vestre on Thursday evening, when he was preparing to get the minister for appointments related to his friend Hege Sandvik. The Deputy Prime Minister will be Fisheries and Oceans Minister Cecilie Myrseth, writes the government. Vestre says he was made aware that Sandvik had on several occasions been acting and acting department director in the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries. In three cases, she has been given these intermediate roles while Vestre was a minister. Vestre made sure that the civil service was aware of the friendship when he became minister of industry on 14 October 2021, writes the business newspaper. Sandvik has worked in the ministry since 2014, and has also held the position of department director in periods before Vestre became a minister.
