The State Capital Authority (OIKN) of the Archipelago plans to fix the area of the landed house of minister (RTJM) which is being built at IKN Nusantara because the concept of the area is said to be a little'smearning' from the concept.

OIKN Development Control Deputy Thomas Umbu Pati Tena Bolodadi said the criticism was delivered directly by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during his visit to IKN to coincide with the groundbreaking moment phase 2.

"It's not wrong, it's wrong. Maybe he (President Jokowi) looks too tight and close. Right, there needs to be a green space," Thomas told reporters at JIExpo Kemayoran, quoted on Saturday, November 4.

Thomas said that the construction of IKN should not be the same as Jakarta. According to him, IKN must be able to reflect the city of civilization with a green city. So, he ensured that the area would be repaired soon.

"Among the houses of one another, for example, what plants or parks are there, don't let them be the same as Jakarta. If it's the same as Jakarta, why are we talking about stepping up civilization. That's the truth," he said.

He emphasized that this matter was already known by the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono and was immediately followed up.

"The Minister of Public Works (Basuki Hadimuljono) has already said that we are fixing it, adding the environmental concept," he added.

For your information, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) said that the progress of the construction of 36 units of the Ministerial Tax House at IKN Nusantara had reached 39 percent to date.

"The progress is already 39 percent, all spaces have been built," said Director General of Housing of the Ministry of PUPR Iwan Suprijanto after being met at the 2023 Indonesia Construction event at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Friday, November 3.

Iwan said that later all the furniture in the landed house would prioritize domestically made products. "(All furniture) there are domestic products that we prioritize," he said.
