Minister Of ATR Jalin Coordination Solves Land Dispute Issues

JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning (ATR)/Head of the National Land Agency (BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono will build communication and coordination with a number of related ministries to resolve all issues of land disputes.

"We are excited to accelerate and resolve all issues and problems, including land disputes, be it individuals, corporations, including communities," Agus said after the ATR/BPN Ministry Leadership Meeting in Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 22.

The man who is familiarly called AHY said that he had asked for time with the Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto to communicate and coordinate.

"Because ATR is under the coordination of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy. I have asked for the time to be sought to meet Pak Airlangga Hartarto. Then also with fellow colleagues in the economic area," said AHY.

In addition, AHY admitted that he had also asked for time to communicate and coordinate with the Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia, and the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono.

"Including other ministries, namely the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) for example and the National Police, the Attorney General. Yesterday I conveyed everything I asked for time and of course I was looking for the time," explained AHY.

AHY emphasized that all achievement targets will be completed in accordance with the policies and work programs that have been carried out by the previous ATR Minister, Hadi Tjahjanto, who has now become Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs.

"Of course I can't explain at this time because I'm still working with the ranks of the ministry, which I clearly want to convince the achievement targets in accordance with the policies and work programs that have been carried out by the previous Minister," said AHY.

AHY emphasized that he would open all problems related to land disputes so that settlements could be accelerated.

"The ranks at this central level, I want to open one by one which one we need to accelerate. Because of the hope, of course, all of these targets can be achieved in the last 8 months," said AHY.

Even so, according to AHY, not all land problems can be resolved directly by only the Ministry of ATR, because many intersect with other ministries.

For AHY, the priority thing is to coordinate and communicate a number of related ministries in resolving land dispute issues.

"Because everything must have a busyness that cannot be abandoned, but I want to find a short time at least to convey that there are strategic and technical issues that can be resolved quickly between the Ministry of ATR and other relevant ministries," said AHY.
