TEMPO.CO, Palangkaraya - National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) head Bambang Brodjonegoro, said that President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, is currently planning to move Indonesia's state capital from Jakarta to Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan. Bambang revealed that Jokowi had asked Bappenas to conduct technical studies related to the plan.

"We need those studies and the President is considering [to move the state Capital]," Bambang said during the opening of the 2017 National Development Planning Conference for Central Kalimantan in Palangkaraya on Thursday, April 6, 2017.

According to Bambang, the studies must be conducted because moving a state capital is not an easy task. Therefore, the studies must be thorough.

"The President asked the state capital move should not burden the State Budget and cause debts," Bambang revealed.

Jakarta was selected as the state Capital during the Dutch colonization era. Indonesian first President Soekarno had an idea to move the state capital from Jakarta to Palangkaraya.

"Therefore, President Soekarno wished that one day, the state capital could be moved from Jakarta to Palangkaraya," Bambang said.
