JAKARTA - Acting (Plt) Head of the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) Haryomo Dwi Putranto emphasized that the state civil apparatus (ASN) who served in central agencies at the level of the ministry or agency should not refuse to be transferred to the capital city of the archipelago (IKN). However, he rejected this as coercion, but it was an obligation. This is because ASN has made statements and agreements on readiness to be assigned anywhere. "We cannot force someone to move. Also it is impossible for them to choose not to move, it is not allowed," said Haryomo, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 20. Haryomo further explained, in principle, the transfer of central agencies to IKN is the transfer of offices along with their institutions, so they also move to where their offices are located. Transfer ASN to IKN takes the process and based on needs. As long as it is needed and prepared to work at IKN, then ASN will continue to work at IKN. "We remain in principle it is that its human resources, institutions, and offices will also move, and it will unite into one," he said. Previously, the Head of the State Capital Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono emphasized that the development of IKN has continued to show significant results.
