JAKARTA - Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan-RB) Abdullah Azwar Anas has opened his voice regarding the government's plan to transfer State Civil Apparatus (ASN) to the capital city of the archipelago (IKN) next September.

Azwar said that his ministry had actually prepared a list and formula related to which echelon and which ministries would be moved to IKN in the early stages.

"But it is true that the direction of the President (Joko Widodo) is that there are several ASN apartments that are being refined. This is not entirely finished. Therefore, the President gave directions not to be forced in September if this has not been completed," he told the media crew when met after the agenda of the DPR/MPR Annual Session at the parliament complex, Friday, August 16.

However, he ensured that Kemenpan RB had prepared a reserve scenario related to echelon from each ministry if later required to transfer ASN in September and October.

"We have prepared it. The Kemenpan-RB has coordinated with all Secretary Generals in Ministries/Institutions so we just have to wait for readiness later in apartments in ASN," he explained.

Azwar said that when reviewing the construction of ASN housing in IKN some time ago, 47 ASN apartment towers in IKN would be rampunf in October. Meanwhile, as many as 12 towers will be used by the TNI/Polri.

"Well, yesterday we screened the scenario, if there is an apartment, 1 ASN has 1,700 families. But if there is sharing there are approximately 3,200. But the President has said that he does not share his apartment for those with families, 1 ASN 1 apartment," he concluded.
