JAKARTA - Member of Commission V DPR RI from the Democratic Faction Irwan Fecho prays for the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono to enter the next government cabinet. Irwan also appreciated Basuki's performance in leading the PUPR Ministry to build infrastructure throughout the country.

"I really appreciate the Ministry of PUPR in building the nation for 10 years, especially the last 5 years. I pray that Pak Basuki can also continue to contribute to building this nation and entering the next Advanced Indonesia Cabinet," he said in a working meeting with Commission V DPR RI at the Parliament Building Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, April 1.

Irwan requested that the priority of developing education infrastructure be evenly distributed and not only focused on the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN), but also provided educational facilities and infrastructure around IKN.

"The success of the Ministry of PUPR, including 13 PSN projects completed in 2023, of course there will be a continuation in 2024. Hopefully (it can be completed) at least October or the end of this year," he said.

On the same occasion, Member of Commission V DPR RI from the Gerindra faction, Mulyadi, hoped that there would be a university built at IKN and given the name Basuki University. Basuki seemed to smile with Mulyadi's smile.

"We hope that at IKN there should be Basuki University. The universality infrastructure is suitable, sir, to create construction personnel there. I think that's a proposal at IKN," he said.

Furthermore, he also hopes that the IKN development can be completed on time and on target. Thus, IKN is an asset that the Indonesian people are proud of.

"The Minister does not carelessly become the Minister of PUPR Indonesia. We hope that there will be an evaluation context, development results and projected planning," he concluded.

It is known that the name Basuki Hadimuljono was included in one of the list of ministers who were rumored to be withdrawing from the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet. He also dismissed the issue of himself resigning from the cabinet.

Basuki said he would obey the orders to remain in Jokowi's Cabinet.

"The order is like that (staying in the cabinet)," said Basuki at the Jakarta Presidential Palace, Tuesday, February 12.
