PKB Politicians Insinuate The Target As High As The IKN Sky: Whoever The Head Of The Authority Will Definitely Shake His Leg

JAKARTA - Chairman of the PKB DPP Daniel Johan assessed the resignation of the Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (IKN) Bambang Susantono because he was unable to face the many problems that occurred in the development and transfer of IKN.

However, Daniel did not know whether the inability was based on personal guidance or because the target was too high. What is certain, according to him, whoever is the head of the IKN authority will tremble if he knows the target is as high as the sky.

"I don't know if I should ask Mr. Bambang. It's just that whoever is the head of the IKN authority will definitely have a leg diameter because the target is so high," Daniel told reporters, Monday, June 3.

Moreover, no investment has yet been made for the construction of the new capital city in North Penajam Paser, East Kalimantan.

"Including the addition, it's more stressful, the funds don't have food, the targets are high, the salaries may not have been paid. As the head of the authority is heavy," he said.

The member of the DPR for the West Kalimantan electoral district then congratulated the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono and the Deputy Minister of ATR/BPN Raja Juli Antoni who was appointed as the Acting Head of the IKN Authority and his deputy.

"So congratulations to the Minister of Public Works and Deputy Bang Raja Juli, hopefully his legs will be strong and not shaking," he continued with a laugh.

Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (IKN) Bambang Susantono and deputy Donny Raharjoe compactly resigned to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The chairman officially bowed after sending a letter to the president some time ago.

Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno announced the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono and Deputy Minister of ATR/BPN Raja Juli Antoni to be the Acting Head and Deputy Head of the IKN Authority. Both replace Bambang Susantono and Donny Rahajoe who resigned.

"Today, the Presidential Decree has issued a honorable dismissal of Mr. Bambang Susantono as Head of the IKN Authority and Mr. Donny Rahajoe as Deputy Head of the IKN Authority with thanks for his services," said Pratikno, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube, Monday, June 3.

"At the same time, the President appointed the Minister of PUPR, Mr. Basuki, as the Acting Head of the IKN Authority and appointed the Deputy Minister of ATR/BPN as Deputy Head of the IKN Authority," he continued.
