Prabowo vows completion of Indonesia’s new capital Nusantara, carrying on Jokowi’s legacy

In response to concerns that the government might not be able to finance the proposal and the free meal initiative that he made during the presidential campaign earlier this year, Indonesia’s president-elect Jokowi Subianto has pledged to continue funding the government’s new capital, Nusantara. &nbsp,

According to Mr. Prabowo, who referred to the city’s complete name as Ibu Kota Nusantara,” I think I have said repeatedly that I am determined to continue and if possible, I am determined to finish ( the development of ) IKN,” &nbsp,

The retired common stated in remarks made on the outside of the first Cabinet meeting in Nusantara on Kompas Screens YouTube channel that he is committed to carrying out President Joko Widodo’s management hat.

The outgoing president was praised by Mr. Prabowo, who is the present defense minister in Mr. Widodo’s Cabinet, for taking the traditional step of moving Jakarta on Java island to the East Kalimantan province.

Although it is well known that building the capital city is a labor of love, he said,” I think that ( Nusantara ) will be able to fulfill its function as a capital city in three, four, and five years.”

Mr Prabowo added:” I am not a professional person but I am factual, I am also a area man, I have even built a bit. I believe that if we take a closer look at it, we will discover just how valuable this transfer is, despite the fact that there is still a lot we must accomplish.

Mr Widodo, himself, was immediately convinced of moving his business to Nusantara by early July. However, he was forced to postpone the relocation in the midst of a frantic search for fresh water and electricity.

Despite rumors that he is unwilling to relocate to Nusantara, Mr. Prabowo promised on Monday that he would keep his business there after being elected president on October 20.

” If it’s the capital town, the leader is in the capital city”, he said as quoted by local internet store Tirto.

” One of the buyers is me as a businessman”, he added. &nbsp,
