India: Prabowo appoints Basuki Hadimuljono as CEO of IKN Authority, his letter reaches the DPR

Jakarta –

Commission II DPR RI held a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with the ranks of the Capital Islands Authority (OIKN). There are several agendas for this meeting, namely the introduction of the leadership and members of Commission II with OIKN officials, discussions on the progress of IKN development, and so on.

The Chairman of Commission II DPR RI Rifqinizamy Karsayuda was the chairman of this meeting. Starting the meeting, Rifqinizamy said that the DPR had received the president’s letter regarding the appointment of Basuki Hadimuljono as CEO of OIKN.

“I must say at the beginning that the president’s letter regarding the appointment of Mr. Basuki Hadimuljono has reached the leadership of the DPR RI. However, to this day we are all still waiting for the position of the leadership, so IKN Authority does not have a definitive head yet,” he said at Commission II of the DPR RI, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (30/10/ 2024).

Therefore, he said, the question and answer session of the meeting will be cancelled. “So I think the question and answer session will be canceled first, because then we will definitively invite him back,” he said.

Earlier, Minister of State Prasetyo Hadi said that Basuki Hadimuljono would continue with his duties as CEO of OIKN. Before that, Basuki was the PUPR Minister during the Indonesian Progressive Cabinet led by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Then, he was assigned as Acting Head of the Authority from June 2024.

“Yes,” Prasetyo said in response to the question about what happened to Basuki on whether he would be reappointed as the Head of the Authority or not by the media team at the Magelang Military Academy, Central Java, last Sunday (27/10).

When asked when Basuki would be appointed as the CEO of the IKN Authority, Prasetyo said there was no timetable yet. That day, the cabinet and President Prabowo Subianto had just returned from a retreat at the Magelang Military Academy.

“Not yet, be patient, and then go home first,” Prasetyo said.
