The government’s commitment to the flagship project of former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has come under renewed scrutiny after confirming last week that this year’s Independence Day celebration will be held in Jakarta, despite an earlier promise from Prabowo to host the event in Nusantara.

Amid the scrutiny, House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the only de facto opposition party, revealed that lawmakers held a meeting with the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority prior to a plenary meeting on Thursday. The IKN Authority is in charge of developing the new city, which is still under construction.

But she said the meeting only discussed recent developments surrounding the new city’s airport and housing projects, rather than calls for the development to be frozen outright, Antara reported.

The meeting came after the NasDem Party said in a press conference last week that Prabowo must urgently come up with a clear policy direction on the new city.

If Prabowo is committed to Nusantara, NasDem suggested that the President issue a decree to formalize the capital relocation, or at least have Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Jokowi’s eldest son, and some key ministries begin working there. If the project is deemed unready, the party suggested the government pause its development and reallocate funds to other projects.
