The annual Arendalsuka August is quickly become an important meeting place for politicians, business leaders, journalists and PR people.
Fylkesmann and former SV Minister Oystein Djupedal has recently led the Programme in order event. Where he appears according to themselves and Municipal Affairs as a private person, on an equal footing with the other resource persons who make the event possible.
But in August days when Arendalsuka progressed, Djupedal as the only volunteer group transported by a driver.
Practical questions
DN has gained access to running list of Arendalsuka, plan showing who availed themselves of car and driver made available by one of the week’s sponsors, automotive importer Harald A. Møller AS. It shows that neither the other two Programme or the mayor and chairman of the Council Arendalsuka needed transport as Djupedal. At run list, managed by the municipality of Arendal emphasized that “county Oystein Djupedal retrieved home every day from Monday to Friday, and home at night.” Djupedal live about five miles from the center of Arendal, a ten minute drive.
– That I should use the cars came up as a suggestion because I was going so much around and open and be present in many different events. For me it’s only a practical question. We had the year before and the scheme last year. In the year before last, there was much back and forth, last year was not the cars used much, other than fetching the morning and home at night. Most of the events I attended this year was in the center, and therefore I could walk, says Djupedal.
Basically, the cars made available to pick up guests at the airport or elsewhere. In the sponsorship agreement between Arendalsuka and automotive importer stated that “Harald A. Møller sees the value of an event and a meeting with the purpose Arendalsuka have and will as a partner to the project contribute £ 250.0000 in 2014. In addition, Harald A. Møller ask a number of environmentally friendly cars available to Arendalsuka to including transportation of guests. “
Sent bill to Arendalsuka
As DN wrote Saturday threatened Djupedal to sabotage Arendalsuka unless PR agency First House was removed from the event. It happened in an email that he refuses to comment.
In the email wrote Djupedal inter alia, that he was furious First Houses “sickening praise.”
Read the contents of the email here: ” So – very serious “(+)
* Dagens Næringsliv wrote Saturday about the feud between Aust-Agder county and leader of the program in Arendalsuka Øystein Djupedal, and chairman of First House, Leif Monsen. Monsen was until autumn member of the program committee in Arendalsuka.
* In an email threatened Djupedal to sabotage Arendalsuka unless PR agency First House was removed from the event. The email was sent to the mayor of Arendal and head of the Council in Arendalsuka, Einar Halvorsen, secretary of the Council and Councillor in Arendal, Harald Danielsen, and the other two on the program, Leif Monsen and editor Stein Gauslaa in Agderposten.
* Two days after the email writes Djupedal an sms to recipients and says that the email was sent by mistake – it was written in affect.
* When the Council summed up the event in September went Leif Monsen out of the program .

Djupedal says that he is engaged in Arendalsuka as a private person. But last year he invited that county to a large reception and sent the bill to Arendalsuka.
In late July he signed as county and leader of the program along with the mayor of Arendal, Einar Halvorsen, an invitation: “In opportunity Arendalsuka we have the pleasure of inviting you to reception on Wednesday 13 August at. 21.30. “
The emblem of the County of Aust-Agder graced card top, along with the logo of Arendalsuka.
Liquid limits
The bill of just over 50,000 million went to Arendalsuka which the municipality is financial guarantor for.
The invitation from the County is not recorded anywhere in the post journals of office.
– It is not sent out from us. The card was made by us. We have an anteroom lady who is so good at making cards. Then it sent out from Arendal, explaining Djupedal.
– Was it you as an individual or county that was behind the invitation?
– It was both. At that time we had a little liquid limits. It’s a volunteer project. When I invite Pachauri (Chairman of the IPCC) to come to us, I am also county. I have done that because sometimes you should have extra weight. Regarding Arendalsuka and processes around it, the ministry has asked me to do the roles clearer. It is true that it has not always been as stringent.
– You are helping to inflict Arendal costs while supervises municipality?
– Yes, that is correct and I have agreed with the Ministry from day one. If Minister Sanner says I can not be the head of the program, when I go out on the day, says Djupedal.
As Columbus
At the end of DN interview about including break with First House, he will gladly clarify:
– Although DN now trying to pretend that we do an awful lot wrong, If I have sent out an email that had the correct signature if I have signed that county, but should have done it as a leader in the program: So what, somehow. We’ve gotten to this. It was like Columbus when he asked his crew if they could get the egg to stand. There was no one who got the egg to stand. And then he crushed egg. He did it. That is what we have done, says Djupedal.
In connection with DN transparency petition Djupedal email last year recognizing Municipal Affairs, which is Djupedal superiors that “the matter may outwardly create confusion. We therefore emphasize that it is important that the County Governor is evident when Djupedal acting as a private person and when he acts as county. “
No role conflict
The recognition has also characterized the discussion in Arendal Week Council, which earlier this month formulated “Practical measures to ensure clarity in the roles.”
It means that everyone in the program receive emails with arendalsuka.no and consistent use of the logo.
They also writes that “the Council, Programme Committee and the Secretariat is currently composed of persons who are all employed by institutions that have a clear social mandate. Thus there no role conflict between work and involvement in Arendalsuka. “
Municipal Jan Tore Sanner (H) has been informed about the measures.
– Since it is now questioned whether it is Djupedal personal or office who are engaged in efforts Arendalsuka, I am pleased that we now locally has initiated measures that will help to make this clearer. It is important that county governors are clear on when they act as individuals and when they act on behalf of fylkesmannsembedet says Sanner.
