The Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) revealed that the construction of the House of Representatives (DPR) building at IKN will begin in 2025.

Head of OIKN Bambang Susantono said that the construction of the DPR building at IKN is being discussed and designed by the Ministry of PUPR. Therefore, the construction will only start next year.

"It is scheduled if I'm not mistaken starting next year," said Bambang at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, March 18.

When asked further about the proposed construction of the DPR building at the latest, Bambang said, his party would still discuss this later.

"We'll see later. All of that, right, we want there to be completeness of the political trias there. The executives are there, the legislature is there, the judiciary is there. So, indeed IKN functions as a comprehensive city," he said.

The Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) proposes an additional budget of IDR 3.5 trillion in 2024.

The plan is that the additional budget proposal will be used to accommodate and manage the ministry/institutional infrastructure facilities which will later be submitted to OIKN.

"We proposed an additional budget of IDR 3.5 trillion, mainly to accommodate and manage infrastructure facilities which will later be handed over to us from other k/l," he said.

In detail, the budget will be used for several fields which include the field of facilities and infrastructure reaching Rp2.1 trillion, the field of the environment and natural resources of Rp457.2 billion and the socio-cultural and empowerment sector of Rp57.4 billion.

Then, the field of green and digital transformation amounted to Rp864.3 billion and the field of planning and land reached Rp15.03 billion.
