OIKN to prioritize completing legislative, judiciary seats in 4 years

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) Head Basuki Hadimuljono said he will focus on developing legislative and judiciary complexes and their supporting facilities in the new capital for the next four years.

Following his induction as OIKN head at the Presidential Palace complex here on Tuesday, Hadimuljono stated that the legislative and judiciary seats will be part of Nusantara City's Central Government Core Area (KIPP).

"The (next development phase of the) KIPP ecosystem will be for the judiciary and legislative complexes. The judiciary, executive, and legislative seats, as well as housing for its employees, should be ready by 2028," he explained.
