JAKARTA - Investment Minister/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Bahlil Lahadalia opened his voice about the news that former PDIP politician Maruarar Sirait was also an investor in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN), East Kalimantan.
Bahlin admitted that he did not know the role of Maruarar Sirait in investing in IKN. However, Ara, Maruarar's nickname, visited IKN with the Nusantara Consortium led by the boss of Agung Sedayu Group, Sugianto Kusuma alias Aguan.
"I tried to check. At that time, I was with the consortium group. We are not talking about individuals, we are talking about companies," he said when met at the Ministry of Investment Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 24.
Bahlil said the Nusantara Consortium had already invested in IKN. Even so, Bahlil admitted that he did not know for sure Ara's role in IKN.
"It's already in (the investment). I don't read the shareholders. I'm talking about permission and investment of the shareholders. It's not good to open it either," he said.
As previously reported, Ara was widely discussed after uploading his togetherness with big businessmen who supported the development of the capital city of Nusantara (IKN). At that time, Ara was also seen participating in a group of investors led by the boss Agung Sedayu Group Sugianto Kusuma (Aguan) while reviewing the IKN project.
Related to this, the Deputy for Funding and Investment of OIKN Agung Wicaksono explained about Ara's role in IKN development. Agung did not deny that Ara was indeed one of the ones registered in a number of investment projects at IKN.

"Currently, I can't say (the role of Maruarar Sirait in IKN development) because if the existing documents from investors are mentioned, his name is the party who signs or cooperates," he said in an online media briefing, quoted Wednesday, January 17.
Agung confirmed that Ara had indeed come down the mountain to visit IKN together with the boss Agung Sedayu Group, Aguan, who is the leader of the Nusantara Consortium. Ara also visited IKN accompanied by Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia.
"We can say that Mr. Maruarar was also present with the Minister of Investment Bahlil together with companies that will form a consortium. So, that's what we know. He had indeed been to IKN together with investors at that time," he said.
