MenPANRB Says ASN Moves To IKN Following Ministry/Institution Readiness

JAKARTA - Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPANRB) Rini Widyantini said the transfer of state civil servants (ASN) to the capital city of the archipelago (IKN) was adjusted to the readiness of agencies or ministries/agencies.

He explained that currently the consolidation process after the increase in the number of ministries, from 34 during the previous administration to 48 during the President Prabowo Subianto period, became the main focus of the Ministry of PANRB.

"Many of their employees have changed, some have become 2 ministries, some have become 3 ministries. So, of course, we are still waiting for them to set it up first with internal governance," said Rini in the Tebet area, Jakarta, Wednesday, December 11, which was confiscated by Antara.

Therefore, he said that the PANRB Ministry would soon coordinate with the IKN Authority (OIKN) regarding the process of transferring ASN to IKN, as well as carrying out President Prabowo's instructions.

"Whatever is conveyed by the President for these preparations, of course we will encourage. For example, how the infrastructure is needed," he explained.

Previously, the Head of OIKN Basuki Hadimuljono revealed that the transfer of ASN to IKN would be carried out after Lebaran 2025.

According to the Minister of PANRB, what we are currently preparing and calculating is all starting April. Actually, in January, there was only Eid al-Fitr. So, maybe it will be calculated," said Basuki at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 10.
