Explanation of the Minister of PUPR Regarding Jokowi Canceling Office at IKN in July

Dream - Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) as well as Acting Head of the Capital City Authority of Nusantara (IKN), Basuki Hadimuljono, responded to the news that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) canceled his office at IKN this July.

Basuki said, currently the process of supporting facilities and infrastructure is still ongoing, starting from electricity to water. "Because I've been saying since mid-July that water will come in, electricity has already come in. Earlier, I just gathered energy and communication, Telkom and PLN, just reported that 10 Megawatts is already okay. Now, we're building the next 40 Megawatts, but the 10 Megawatts is from PLTS," said Basuki as quoted from liputan6.com, Thursday, July 11, 2024.

He said, so far Jokowi has never stated that the plan to have an office at IKN in July 2024 is canceled. Therefore, he asked not to rush to conclude, because it is still early in July. "The media is happy with bombastic news. Once again, July lasts until the 31st," he said.

He conveyed, in order to ensure his readiness, Jokowi plans to depart to IKN at the end of July 2024. The visit will be conducted after Jokowi's visit to Papua on July 22, 2024. "Later, after the 20th (of July), on the 22nd (the President) will go to Papua, Children's Day. After that, he will go there (IKN)," said Basuki.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Mr. Bas, who is familiarly called Pak Bas, said that the clean water and electricity supply to support Jokowi's plan to have an office in IKN will be completed in July 2024. Basuki ensures that the clean water supply in IKN can already be distributed on July 18, 2024, especially to the Presidential Office."

"“On the 15th, there will be a commissioning (clean water testing). I will go to IKN on the 18th (July), because on the 15th I will be in Abu Dhabi with the President. I will return (to Indonesia) on the 17th (July), and on the 18th I will go to IKN to ensure the water. God willing, everything will be fine,”"
"ujarnya." translates to "he/she said."

However, he doesn't know exactly when Jokowi will start working at IKN. Basuki only ensures the readiness of infrastructure, electricity, and clean water so that Jokowi can start working at IKN. "Ask the president (when will he start working at IKN), why ask me," said Basuki.

"Previously, President Joko Widodo or Jokowi targeted to start working in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN), East Kalimantan in July 2024. However, Jokowi's plan to work in IKN is hindered by the unpreparedness of water and electricity."

"Is the water ready? Is the electricity ready? Is the place ready? If it's ready, let's move," said Jokowi to journalists at the Air Force Base in Halim Perdanakusuma, East Jakarta, on Monday, July 8, 2024. He admitted to receiving a report from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) regarding the progress of water and electricity readiness in IKN. Jokowi mentioned that the water and electricity are not yet ready. "I have received the report from PUPR, but it's not ready," he said.
