TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority Basuki Hadimuljono denies that the development of IKN will slow down, contradicting the statement of Public Works (PU) Minister Dody Hanggodo.
“There is no [slowdown in IKN development,]” Basuki told reporters at Menara Mandiri II, Jakarta, on Monday, December 9, 2024. “I don't know that he is in the PU Ministry.”
The former minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) emphasized that the IKN Authority is preparing infrastructure development for the legislative and judiciary bodies, a task mandated by President Prabowo Subianto prior to his appointment as IKN Authority Head.
Basuki also mentioned plans to submit a supplementary budget request of Rp8.1 trillion for the development of the new capital in 2025. The initial Budget Implementation List (DIPA) for OIKN in 2025 was set at Rp6.3 trillion.
“Due to the President's directive to commence construction of judicial, legislative, and residential offices, we are currently submitting a supplementary budget request to Bappenas (National Development Planning Agency) and the Ministry of Finance,” Basuki stated.
Regarding the potential slowdown, Public Works Minister Dody Indra acknowledged that the development of IKN is not progressing at a 100% pace or strictly adhering to the initial schedule. He attributed this to the government's current focus on other critical priorities, such as achieving national food self-sufficiency. The Ministry of Public Works will prioritize water supply for rice fields.
“The IKN development is not significantly slow, just a slight delay. It's simply a matter of prioritizing different objectives,” Dody told reporters at the Ministry of Public Works on Friday, December 6, 2024.
Furthermore, Dody cited budget constraints as a contributing factor to the IKN development slowdown. He emphasized the government's active pursuit of potential investors. “Funding is limited. We are actively seeking investment opportunities,” Dody stated. “We warmly welcome any entities interested in contributing to the IKN development.”
