KPK Controls The Development Of IKN Nusantara, Including Related To Land Preparation

"From the results of a temporary analysis of the IKN Law and the draft Presidential Regulation on the IKN Authority, the KPK is at least exploring three things, namely aspects of state administration, special mechanisms for procurement, and special financing facilities," Firli explained. relevant ministries/agencies. Firli said, regarding the procurement and financing mechanism, the KPK is coordinating with LKPP.
