jpnn.comJAKARTA – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) claims that moving the capital city from Jakarta to the archipelago, East Kalimantan is not just his decision.
According to Jokowi, the transfer had been approved by all Indonesian people through the DPR RI.
“It’s not just the president’s decision, but also the decision of all Indonesian people represented by all members of the DPR in Jakarta,” said Jokowi, quoted from the State Secretariat’s YouTube, Thursday (26/9).
“So that there is no misperception that this is President Jokowi’s project, right,” he continued.
The former Mayor of Solo explained that the idea of moving the National Capital was planned during the era of President Soekarno.
However, the idea emerged again in 2014 after he was inaugurated as president.
After going through several studies, there are three cities that are options for moving the capital, one of which is North Penajam Paser, East Kalimantan.
After the decision to choose East Kalimantan as the capital, he then conveyed the idea to the DPR.
