Abstract

The government-led move of the capital from Jakarta to Nusantara has sparked substantial public debate, encompassing legal drafting, institutional issues, and the construction and relocation process. This study aimed to assess the potential corruption risk associated with the drafting and content of Law Number 21 of 2023, which modifies Law Number 3 of 2022 on the State Capital (IKN), utilizing the Corruption Risk Assessment framework. The research identified three significant deficiencies: First, the formulation of the IKN Law did not adhere to the CRA's administrative standards, particularly concerning the sub-criteria of accessibility and openness, due to the absence of meaningful participation. Second, the Ibu Kota Nusantara Authority (IKN Authority) needed to effectively differentiate between the functions of planning, development, and relocation of the capital and the responsibilities of the Special Regional Government of IKN. Third, the IKN Law needed to define the special authorities granted to the IKN Authority. This situation enables the government to obtain additional powers as special authority for the IKN Authority without oversight, potentially leading to the misuse of power in favor of certain parties. The research suggests that the IKN should separate its roles as a project implementer from its government function. According to Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, the treatment of government implementation should be consistent with that of other local governments. Also, the government must implement substantial limitations in the State Capital Relocation Law concerning its exclusive authority. The House of Representatives must authorize further authority if necessary.
Keywords: IKN, Corruption Risk Assessment, Law Formulation
