“The completion rate is at 87 percent, and all of the 36 houses will be ready by July,” he remarked while inspecting his official residence at the IKN’s Government Core Area (KIPP), East Kalimantan Province, on Tuesday.
Hadimuljono underlined that the government had been prioritizing the use of domestic products and materials for constructing the 36 official houses that host two floors and four bedrooms each in a bid to support the implementation of the domestic level component (TKDN) program.
“We are using imported materials and products only for the smart home system,” he added.
The minister further remarked that 6,600-watt solar power plants would ensure sufficient supply of electricity to all of the ministerial houses.
