President Jokowi Works at IKN Only During Work Visits to Regions, Denies Avoiding Protests

Dream - President Joko Widodo's desire to quickly establish an office in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) of East Kalimantan is set to become a reality. The Palace has confirmed that plans for the relocation of the presidential office are being prepared. Presidential Chief of Staff Heru Budi Hartono stated that they are preparing the plan for President Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, to permanently office in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) by September 2024. According to him, the presidential agenda is organized by Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung and Minister of State Secretary Pratikno.

"This is being prepared. Later, Mr. Seskab and Mr. Mensesneg will prepare the agenda for the office in IKN,"
words of the Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, Monday, August 26, 2024.

"Although preparations for the relocation plan to IKN have been made, Heru explained that President Jokowi will not fully office in IKN in September 2024. It is likely that the number one person in Indonesia will office in IKN in between his work visit agendas to the regions. 'His agenda will be adjusted; of course, he has quite a few work visits, and in between those visits, he will take the time to office in IKN,' he explained."

"Currently coordinating with Mr. Mensesneg, Seskab, and of course other preparations. Such as, coordination with the Minister of PUPR," Heru added."

The translation of "Bantah Hindari Aksi Demo" to English is "Refute Avoid Demonstration Action".

Regarding the reason for moving to IKN, Heru ensured that the plan was made not to avoid the demonstrations that have recently occurred. The plan to office in IKN had already been communicated by Jokowi before the protests became widespread. "No, he has already conveyed it, a long time ago," he said. When asked about the possibility of the elected president Prabowo Subianto working in IKN, Heru was reluctant to respond.

The news about the possibility of President Jokowi moving to IKN East Kalimantan in September 2024 was previously revealed by the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono. "As far as I know the program from President Jokowi, if the airport (IKN) operates in the first week of September, he will move there," said Minister Basuki as quoted by Antara, Friday, August 23, 2024.

In response to the plan, the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing immediately checked the progress of the construction of the runway at IKN Airport this weekend. Currently, the construction progress of the IKN Airport runway has reached 1,100 meters out of a temporary target of 2,200 meters.

"(IKN Airport) we will check tomorrow. So maybe if the target is 2,200 meters, if there is no rain, the construction of the runway along 2,200 meters is expected to be completed by September 2," explained Basuki. From that estimate, Basuki predicts that IKN Airport is targeted to be operational in the first week of September."
