JAKARTA - The Head of the Archipelago State Capital Authority (IKN) Bambang Susantono confirmed that he would prevent the distribution of lots. This effort is carried out by cooperating with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
This was conveyed by Bambang in response to the information on the distribution of plots at IKN Nusantara that was disclosed by the KPK.
"I think that is the basis for our future cooperation," Bambang told reporters after meeting with KPK leaders at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, March 21.
Bambang stated that he was ready to provide information to the KPK to explore the information regarding the distribution of the plots. He will not allow anyone to take advantage of the construction of the new nation's capital city for personal or group gain.
"We will also periodically inform about the conditions to the field," he said.
"We put more emphasis on the prevention system, how the KPK has been involved in this process from the start," added Bambang.
Previously, the Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Alexander Marwata, had mentioned the effort to distribute land plots at IKN Nusantara.
He revealed this during the hybrid Integrated Corruption Eradication Coordination Meeting (Rakor) on Wednesday, March 9 at the East Kalimantan Governor's Office. Alexander said the news was obtained from a KPK informant.
"It turns out that not all of the IKN lands are clean and clearing. From our informants, there are already lots of plots divided," Alexander said as quoted from his written statement, Thursday, March 10.
Alexander ensured that the KPK would step in to oversee the development of IKN. Moreover, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has asked for escorts so that the gap in corruption can be closed.
"Mr. President has asked for an escort from the KPK," he said at the time.
