JAKARTA - Vice Presidential Candidate Mahfud MD spoke about the IKN which was predicted by the vice presidential candidate Gibran Rakabuming Raka to continue. Mahfud emphasized that the continuation of the ambitious project in the Jokowi government must be carried out, but efforts are needed to attract investors.

"Mas Gibran, I am very interested in IKN and we have to carry it out as a legacy from Pak Jokowi. But earlier I was interested, the budget for IKN was only 20 from the state budget and the rest from investors," said Mahfud, Friday, December 22.

"As far as we have read, until now no one investor has entered there, try if there is a name if there is a mention, for example two or one, which investor has entered there," he said.

In fact, hundreds of hectares of land in the IKN area, called Mahfud, are controlled by certain entrepreneurs.

"I heard that hundreds of hectares of land have been controlled by certain entrepreneurs at this time. So I agree in the future that IKN investors must be continued but the funding must be in accordance with their original goals, that it actually invites investors," he said.

"But now that has become all from the state budget. So that steps are needed to improve so that we can continue the good legacy of President Jokowi," he said.
