the special committee to formulate the results what recommendations," he said.

Misan said this had also been disclosed in the Bamus meeting held by the DPRD on Wednesday, May 11.

In addition to establishing the Jakarta Special Committee regarding IKN transfers, the meeting also agreed on the establishment of the Raperda Special Committee on the Transportation Master Plan and the Drinking Water Management Special Committee after the Aetra and Palyja work contracts.

"Aetra and Palyja's contracts will expire in January 2023. We have to discuss it because it will not be extended," he said.
