President Jokowi Orders Echelon I Officials To Occupy 1 Apartment Unit At IKN

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo decided on echelon I to move to the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) to occupy 1 apartment unit alone or with family.

This was conveyed by the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform Abdullah Azwar Anas after attending a limited meeting with President Joko Widodo at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Monday, July 1.

Earlier it was decided whether 1 unit (apartment) was sharing (sharing) or alone. So earlier the President decided specifically for echelon I to be inhabited by himself, especially those who are already married," Azwar said as quoted by ANTARA.

Azwar Anas said, based on the results of coordination with the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (PPN/Bappenas), as of November 2024, it is estimated that there will be 47 towers/carriers or apartment buildings ready to live in IKN.

The 47-power construction will be completed in stages, including 8 units of power in July as an early stage, and the rest from September to October 2024.

"So it's huge. One unit contains three rooms. Later from the 47 towers, 29 towers will be filled by ASN, and 18 towers will be filled by the TNI/Polri. If one tower is filled by one person, then (as of November 2024) there will be ASN who will move, 1,740 ASN," he explained.

Unlike echelon I, he said, ASN employees who are not married will occupy 1 apartment unit with three rooms, sharing with fellow ASN colleagues.
