He explained that the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) has planned to transfer ASN from 15 ministries to IKN in the near future, as part of a gradual relocation strategy for central agencies to the new capital city.

"There are 1,170 OIKN employees who have officially moved (to the new capital city) and are living in several towers for ASN," he remarked.

In addition, 109 employees of the Health Ministry's Hospital are working and living in that area.

The ASN presence is further strengthened by employees relocating from various state institutions and ministries, such as Bank Indonesia, the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), the Ministry of Public Works (PU), and the Ministry of Housing and Human Settlement (PKP).
