Mangunpura (Antara Bali) - President Joko Widodo distributed 2,797 land ownership
certificates in Badung district, Bali, Friday, as part of the program
in which 3,500 certificates were issued through Complete, Systematic
Land Registration (PTSL) program.
"This program is aimed at preventing land disputes in districts and
cities caused by the unavailability of certificates. I do not want land
disputes with neighbors, government or companies to happen again in
Indonesia," he said.
President Jokowi stated the government had set a target of
producing five million certificates this year, seven million in 2018 and
nine million in 2019.
He admitted that the total number of plots needing certification in
the country had reached 126 million, but so far only 46 million of them
had been certified.
"So, there are still many plots of land that need to be certified. I
have ordered the minister of agrarian and spatial affairs/head of
National Land Agency (BPN) to finish land certification, and immediately
distribute the certificates to the people, he remarked.
On the occasion, President Jokowi again called on the people to
develop brotherhood, reiterating that Indonesia was a big country that
consisted of 17,000 islands, 516 districts/cities, 34 provinces and 714
different tribes.
"Let us maintain our brotherhood, as we are brothers of the same
nation and country. I have an advise to BPN offices across the regions
to give quick service to the people seeking certification of their land,
so that the certificates can be issued immediately," he mentioned.
He affirmed that he had already paid attention to the BPN`s
proposal by increasing the number of workers in charge of measuring land
from 2,000 to 4,500.
Minister of agrarian and spatial affairs Sofyan Djalil said there
was actually a total of 3,500 certificates issued under the PTSL program
to be distributed that day, but only 2,797 recipients had been present.
"The situation happened possibly because some failed to come to
receive them, or some got more than one certificate," he said.
The 2,797 certificates were distributed to recipients from five
districts in Bali, including Badung, Tabanan, Gianyar, Denpasar and
Klungkung.
Djalil hoped all plots of land in Bali would be certified by 2019. (WDY)
