JAKARTA - A number of members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD who are members of the Jakarta Special Committee (Pansus) after the relocation of the State Capital (IKN) plan to visit a number of areas that were once the capital city.

The three regions in question are DI Yogyakarta Province, Bukittinggi City, and Aceh Province. This was stated by a member of the Special Committee for IKN DPRD DKI from the PKS Frakai, Abdul Aziz.

"Our visits to several places, especially those that were once the capital were then moved. Like Yogyakarta, then Bukittinggi, West Sumatra was also the capital city.

Then special areas such as Banda Aceh," said Aziz when contacted, Thursday, July 28.

Aziz said that the Special Committee for IKN DPRD DKI wanted to find out the special conditions of the former capital city to formulate the concept of the specificity of Jakarta after the capital city officially moved to the archipelago, East Kalimantan.

"It's a special area that we have to know its specifics about. Because we need to know what the specifics of Jakarta will be after this IKN," said Aziz.

Currently, they are in Samarinda and have just had a meeting with the DPRD for the Province of East Kalimantan. This afternoon, the Special Committee for IKN of the DKI Jakarta DPRD visited the zero point of IKN, Penajam Paser Utara.

There, the special committee wanted to find out more about the process of moving the capital city from Jakarta to the archipelago by looking directly at the conditions.

After knowing the progress of the plan to move the capital city, Aziz said that his party could better understand the concept of Jakarta's development after leaving the status of the capital city of Indonesia.

"Actually, we want to convince ourselves that this IKN is being processed or processed quickly. Because the faster it is processed, after all, DKI must also prepare things faster after this IKN," said Aziz.

The next step, the Special Committee for IKN will invite experts to provide input, before finally issuing a comprehensive recommendation regarding the status of government and future development of Jakarta to the DKI Provincial Government.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta DPRD formed a Jakarta Special Committee after the transfer of the State Capital (IKN). The formation of this special committee has been approved in a plenary meeting with the appropriate arrangement in Government Regulation Number 12 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for the Preparation of Rules of Procedure for Provincial, Regency and City DPRD.

The Special Committee is filled by 25 people consisting of two leaders and 23 members.
