JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) formed the Jakarta Special Committee (Pansus) after the relocation of the State Capital (IKN) and began holding its inaugural working meeting, Monday, August 15.

The Jakarta Special Committee after the IKN transfer will later provide recommendations to the DKI Provincial Government regarding the development of Jakarta after releasing the status of the capital city. Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria also invited him.

"Friends in the DPRD have formed a Special Committee for IKN, please go ahead. Maybe it's to prepare for Jakarta's steps after the move of the capital city", Riza told reporters, Tuesday, August 16.

The DKI Pemrpov, said Riza, has prepared a study on the direction of development and the condition of Jakarta in the future. This study was also sent to the central government so that it could be discussed with the DPR RI in drafting a revision of Law Number 29 of 2007 concerning the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta as the capital of the Republic of Indonesia.

"We ourselves have also arranged for coordination with the central government, taking steps, concepts, comprehensive programs so that Jakarta becomes an economic city, a service city, a business center, to international trade", explained Riza.

Previously, a member of the Jakarta Special Committee (Pansus) after the relocation of the State Capital City (IKN) of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Idris Ahmad, viewed that so far there has been no optimal communication from the DKI Provincial Government to the council members regarding the condition of Jakarta after the capital city moved to the archipelago, East Kalimantan.

In fact, a study of the condition of Jakarta after it is no longer the capital city is needed as the basis for the revision of Law Number 29 of 2007 concerning the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government as the Capital of the Republic of Indonesia.

This lack of communication, said Idris, was one of the reasons the DPRD formed the Jakarta Special Committee after the IKN transfer.

"This special committee was created because there is communication that has not been running optimally. In fact, it is very influential on governance and society itself later in Jakarta", said Idris.

So far, the DKI Provincial Government has never held a meeting with the DKI DPRD to discuss the specifics of Jakarta after the relocation of the capital city.

Therefore, the DPRD decided to take the initiative to provide recommendations related to the specifics of Jakarta, which is predicted to be the center of the business city, according to the results of the special committee study that is currently underway.

The recommendations were obtained starting from accommodating input from experts and the public, as well as monitoring several areas that had once been the capital city.

"That's why we take the initiative to make a special committee so that communication can run effectively and we can also voice community problems and also convey back to the community how certainty and clarity are related to the revision of Law Number 29", said Idris.
