The Ministry Of PUPR Is Optimistic That The Settlement Of 43 PSN After 2024 Will Continue In Prabowo-Gibran's Leadership

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) said that the completion of 43 national strategic projects (PSN) after 2024 will continue in the new government, in this case in the era of Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka's leadership.

Expert Staff to the Minister for Integrated Development of the Ministry of PUPR Maulidya Indah Junica is optimistic that the 43 PSNs will still be completed in the era of the new president's leadership.

The reason is, on average, some of the 43 projects have started construction work.

"I think (continued) especially those that have been construction. That means, right, the service provider already holds the contract. And (the project) some of these also use non-APBN funds. That means, (use) loan funds and the money is already there, it's just a matter of continuing the stage by stage," he said, written Thursday, May 16.

Maulidya even gave illustrations such as when building a high-rise building.

He considered that when the building needed 100 stakepoles as a foundation, but only 10 were being worked on, it was impossible for the project to be stopped immediately.

"For example, to build a high-rise building, right, it needs a foundation. If the stake pole is only 10 and the need for 100 is it to be stopped, even though the money is there. So, that stage will be evaluated by friends, he really deserves to go forward or not," he said.

According to him, the 43 PSNs will be re-evaluated. Starting from financial insurance to the progress of the work. If it is in good condition, infrastructure projects will continue and remain PSN.

"If there is financial guarantee, the job is also healthy. This means that the progress of the work is appropriate. It feels like entering the deletion stage (excluding from PSN) might be taken into consideration," he added.
