People Outside of Jakarta Can Take Part in Jakarta's Future

Jakarta will no longer be Indonesia's capital, but it does not mean that Jakarta loses its specificity. For this reason, the Jakarta Government is discussing the substance of the Jakarta Specificity Bill (RUU) that will be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

We have conducted workshops within the provincial government to discuss the substance of the proposed Jakarta Specificity Bill

Jakarta Regional Secretariat Assistant for Governance Sigit Wijatmoko mentioned that the Government had formed internal formulation groups which divided into eight sectors to finalize the substance of the proposed Jakarta Specificity Bill, namely Mobility and Logistics; Economy, Investment, and Spatial Planning; Public Welfare; Fiscal; Politics and Governance; Digital Economy and Readiness; and Support Team.

"We have conducted workshops to discuss the substance of the proposed Jakarta Specificity Bill. A workshop was also recently held on March 29-30, 2022 in Ancol. We are in the process of finalizing this proposal and preparing Jakarta as a global city and economic center even though it is no longer the center of government," he said at Jakarta City Hall, as quoted from Jakarta PPID's Press Release, Monday (4/4).
