Jakarta –
Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Faction, Mulyanto emphasized that his party still does not agree with the transfer the nation’s capital (IKN) to Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan. Mulyanto said that there were many things that were forced regarding the relocation of the capital city.
“The implementation of this IKN transfer must legally be postponed until this problem is completely clear. It is impossible for the State Capital to be built on people’s land,” said Mulyanto in his statement, Saturday (29/1/2022).
Mulyanto is of the opinion that the current state capital relocation is not a good thing to do. He then likened moving the capital city to opening a shop in someone else’s stall.
“It’s like wanting to open a shop but the stall still has someone else. It’s not very good,” he said.
Furthermore, this PKS politician assessed that there were many things that were forced from the process of moving the country’s capital city. He suspects that the relocation of the capital city will cause new problems if it is carried out.
“This incident further strengthens the reason PKS rejects the IKN Law. PKS believes that there are many things that are forced. And if this continues, it will cause new problems in the future,” explained Mulyanto.
