T

he Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority has shifted its focus to the construction of legislative and judicial office buildings in the future capital city in East Kalimantan, saying government buildings that will be used by civil servants early next year are nearing completion.

The projects include the buildings for the House of Representative, the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) and the Supreme Court in Nusantara. They are planned to be completed in 2028, when President Prabowo Subianto is expected to start working in the new capital city.

“This is to ensure that Nusantara can be fully operational as the seat of government where the executive, legislative and judicial branches are present,” the IKN Authority said in a press statement on Tuesday.

The government plans to relocate their employees to Nusantara in waves, starting in April of next year.
