KALTIM - Member of the DPRD for the Province of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) from Penajam Paser Utara Regency, Baharuddin Muin asked the central government to participate in developing local human resources before the central state civil apparatus (ASN) becomes a resident of the National Capital (IKN) of the Archipelago.

"The central government and the provincial government are expected to program the development of local human resources by moving the state capital," said the deputy chairman of Commission II of the East Kalimantan Provincial DPRD in Penajam, Monday, May 30.

The North Penajam Paser Regency Government, according to him, must also actively establish communication with the Central Government and the provincial government regarding the program to build human resources.

"The program to improve the quality of local human resources must be carried out early, because if local human resources are not qualified, they will be eliminated or unable to compete with the transfer of IKN to Penajam," he said.

Moreover, to become part of the Nusantara IKN Authority Agency and other sectors, according to him, it is very difficult if local human resources are not prepared from now on.

"We will encourage the provincial government and communicate with the central government to support the budget for increasing local human resources," he said.

Based on Antara's report, the North Penajam Paser Regency Government, he said, must aggressively program to build local human resources, so that the community is able to compete in all sectors of the development and development of the Nusantara IKN.

After the determination of parts of North Penajam Paser Regency and parts of Kutai Kartanegara Regency to become IKN Nusantara areas, according to him, there has been no maximum follow-up from the central government or provincial governments to increase human resources.

Improving local human resources to face competition, according to him, is very important so that after becoming the State Capital, the people of North Penajam Paser Regency do not become unemployed.

Baharuddin Muin said that the central government and the IKN Nusantara Authority had to prepare, from infrastructure to human resources, so that they would not be left behind after IKN was transferred.
