JAKARTA: The names of two PDIP politicians are included in the names of four candidates for the Head of the Archipelago State Capital Authority (IKN) who was named by President Joko Widodo last year. Namely, the President Commissioner of PT Pertamina, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok and the former Regent of Banyuwangi, Abdullah Azwar Anas.
In response to this, the chairman of the PDIP faction in the DPR RI, Utut Adianto, emphasized that the candidate for the head of the IKN authority was entirely under the authority of President Joko Widodo.
"That's Pak Jokowi's territory, if it's important for us, the law has been knocked down," said Utut at the DPR Building, Thursday, January 20.
According to him, the PDIP faction only ensures that the implementation of the IKN Law can run in the field. His faction, he said, had suggested that there be 5 government regulations that strengthen IKN development.
As for the name of its leader, PDIP considers President Jokowi to have full rights.
"We have conveyed through Mas Pramono Anung that there needs to be at least 5 PPs to strengthen it, but if someone wants to be appointed, that is Pak Jokowi's territory. He wants to appoint anyone who is considered capable, that's fine," explained Utut.
Utut was also reluctant to comment on who is the most competent to be the Head of the IKN Nusantara Authority, whether Ahok or Azwar Anas. He even explained about the 5 PPs that were proposed to the Menseskab.
"First there is a PP that strengthens the concept of land, then there is a PP that strengthens the concept of state defense like what. Then there is a PP which has a funding concept so that this is substained and can work, there is a PP that proposes to maintain the customs and culture of the Dayak people. Don't be disturbed and Lastly, there is a PP on surrounding areas, which is proposed so that the surrounding areas of the surrounding districts are left far behind compared to the state capital," concluded Utut.
