View all search resultsJakarta will mark its 498th anniversary this weekend with a renewed vision of transforming into a global center for trade, services, finance and business, even as the city faces persistent questions about its livability and its impending loss of capital status.
The government planned to have some civil servants start working from the future capital city starting this January, but the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Ministry issued a letter in early February to postpone the move indefinitely.
The President has approved a budget of Rp 48.8 trillion for legislative and judicial facilities, as well as for the construction of roads in and around Nusantara and for the maintenance of facilities already built there.
Rini said the current priority for the government was to renew its database on civil servants, especially following the decision by President Prabowo Subianto to spin off ministries under his administration, as well as the formation of new ministries and government agencies.
Amid the campaign session in the runup to the regional head elections on Nov. 27 and the final phase of capital city relocation from Jakarta to the future Capital City of Nusantara (IKN), the government and the House of Representatives agreed to revise the Jakarta Special Region (DKJ) Law. The amendment is the first legislation the current House has produced since it began its five-year term on Oct. 1.
The public works minister met on Tuesday with his predecessor, now the incumbent head of the IKN Authority, to discuss a variety of related matters, including the possibility of relocating the ministry's employees to the new capital being developed in East Kalimantan.
