Deputy Speaker of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), Eddy Soeparno, is calling on all parties to adhere to President Prabowo Subianto’s directives regarding the development of the new capital, Nusantara, in East Kalimantan. Soeparno emphasized that it is crucial for all stakeholders to focus on the project’s progress rather than engaging in debates about the budget allocated for the development.
During a recent statement, Soeparno emphasized the importance of following President Prabowo’s guidance, particularly focusing on the construction of offices for legislative and judicial institutions, as well as the supporting ecosystem. He expressed confidence in President Prabowo’s ability to make informed decisions that consider all relevant factors.
The Challenge of Implementation
One of the key challenges identified by Soeparno is the effective implementation of the development plans by government officials. He stressed the significance of adhering to President Prabowo’s instructions without any exceptions. By doing so, Soeparno believes that the development of Nusantara will progress smoothly and play a vital role in promoting equitable development across Indonesia.
Reflecting on a visit to Nusantara with MPR Speaker Ahmad Muzani, Soeparno noted the rapid progress in development. He encouraged legislators to actively communicate updates about the new capital’s development, suggesting that they serve as ambassadors for the project. Soeparno also proposed leveraging interactions with foreign partners to disseminate information about Nusantara effectively.
Expert Insights on Nusantara Development
Deputy Minister of Public Works, Diana Kusumastuti, echoed Soeparno’s sentiments by emphasizing the ongoing development of Nusantara, with a specific focus on the legislative and judicial sectors. Kusumastuti underscored that this emphasis aligns with a directive from President Prabowo, indicating a clear mandate for the project’s progression. The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) will continue to advance the comprehensive planning for the new capital’s development, ensuring that the project remains on track.
As the development of Nusantara unfolds, it is essential for all stakeholders to rally behind President Prabowo’s vision and work collaboratively towards achieving the common goal of establishing a functional and thriving new capital in East Kalimantan. By aligning efforts and priorities with the directives laid out by the President, the Nusantara project can serve as a beacon of progress and development for the nation.
Let’s continue to support the Nusantara development journey and contribute to the realization of a prosperous future for Indonesia.
