TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Deputy Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Imam Sugianto said that BIN employees will move to the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) in stages starting in the middle of this year. This was conveyed by Imam when meeting the Head of the IKN Authority at IKN Basuki Hadimuljono on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
"God willing, starting in June," said Imam, quoted from the official statement of the IKN Authority. The plan is for BIN employees to occupy housing in BIN flats (rusun) that are already functional.
Basuki Hadimuljono welcomed the plan. The IKN Authority, he said, will also prepare housing so that BIN employees who move can occupy it starting June 1, 2025.
The plan to move BIN employees to IKN was conveyed amid the uncertainty of the ASN relocation schedule to the new capital city in East Kalimantan. Previously, the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan-RB) Rini Widyantini said that there had been no directive from President Prabowo Subianto to bring ASN to the IKN. Her ministry also plans to re-screen ASN who will be transferred.
In the meantime, employees who have started working in the IKN are employees of the IKN Authority. Basuki claimed that 500 employees have moved to the new capital since March 1, 2025. He also ensured that there would be prospective civil servants who would follow in June 2025.
"There are 582 more CPNS (people) who will live here (IKN)," said Basuki in a press conference held online on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
Regarding development, the IKN Authority is also targeting an office complex project in the IKN, which includes the Palace Area, Coordinating Ministry, Ministry of State Secretariat, and its ecosystem. While the development of the office ecosystem continues to progress, the Secretary of the IKN Authority, Bimo Adi Nursanthyasto, said that there are already a number of supporting facilities in the area. Starting from minimarkets, restaurants, ATMs, vending machines, to post offices, which are available in both office and residential areas.
Bimo said that the IKN area is designed to be an integrated center of government and economic activity. Therefore, the development of a supporting ecosystem, starting from offices, housing, transportation facilities and social facilities and infrastructure, is a top priority along with the plan to move state civil servants (ASN) to the IKN.
Furthermore, regarding the readiness of housing, Bimo said that there are already 36 ministerial landed houses, 17 ASN residential towers, 5 Paspamres residential towers, 2 Polri residential towers, and 2 State Intelligence Agency (BIN) residential towers. He claimed that these residences are already functional.
Bimo said that if the construction of 47 ASN residential towers in the IKN is completed, it can be used to accommodate 8,410 employees. In addition, the IKN Authority also plans to build 30 towers by 2028 with a capacity of 5,400 employees. "So, the total (capacity) is around 13,810 (employees)," he said during a meeting with Commission II of the DPR on Tuesday, April 22, 2024, quoted from an official statement.
