TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Authority of Nusantara Capital City (IKN) is making security preparations in line with President Prabowo Subianto's plan to start working at IKN on August 17, 2028.
Head of IKN Authority, Basuki Hadimuljono, said that coordination had been done with the East Kalimantan Police Chief to the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) for securing vital objects, such as the Garuda Palace and the State Palace.
"In 2025, we will also establish security posts. There will be 12 posts that we will set up," Basuki said when met at Menara Mandiri II, Jakarta, Monday, December 9, 2024.
Previously, the plan for Prabowo to work at IKN on August 17, 2028, or at the latest in 2029, was announced by the Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo. With this target in place, Basuki mentioned that the construction of IKN must be completed promptly.
Moreover, in the G20 forum, Basuki stated that President Prabowo Subianto had previously mentioned that Indonesia's capital city must be moved due to climate change. In the context of climate change, Jakarta is said to be at risk of submerging due to the continuous rise in sea levels.
Furthermore, Basuki emphasized that the construction of the new capital city in East Kalimantan must be swiftly finished because Prabowo had already signed Law Number 151 of 2024 concerning Amendments to Law Number 2 of 2024 Regarding the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province.
With this regulation, the Governor of Jakarta is no longer referred to as the Governor of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (DKI) but as the Governor of the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ).
Another reason why the construction of IKN must be completed, Basuki mentioned, is that Prabowo had instructed him to promptly finish the infrastructure for the legislative and judiciary institutions. Basuki stated that Prabowo conveyed this before his appointment as the Head of the IKN Authority.
"President Prabowo also instructed me when I was about to be appointed as the new head of IKN Authority to quickly complete the legislative and judiciary infrastructure. Along with Mr. PU," Basuki said.
