BADUNG - Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait (Ara) promised to repair/renovate 400 thousand uninhabitable houses by 2026.

Minister Ara said that this year there were 45 thousand uninhabitable houses that had been renovated.

President Prabowo is extraordinary, this year only 45 thousand APBN budgets to renovate uninhabitable houses. But, next year to 400 thousand, the increase is huge, it proves that President Prabowo is very pro-people, how there will be 400 thousand slum houses next year," he said in Jimbaran, Badung, Bali, Monday, November 24.

"Of course the longer, we hope that from year to year, like this year's 45 thousand, next year's 400 thousand, the increase is around 8 times more, this is why we will renovate slum people's houses, which are not livable so that they are feasible," he added.

"Next year our budget will increase by 100 percent. Yes, our ministry budget will be increased by President Prabowo and the DPR 100 percent," he said.

Meanwhile, for residents who do not have housing, the government has budgeted for the construction of 350 thousand houses.

"Well, usually 200 thousand, a year the quota is increased from 220 thousand to 350 thousand, the largest in history is the Republic of Indonesia. Already, BBHTB (Bea Gets Rights to Land and Buildings) is free, PBG (Building Approval) is free. But for small people, if middle and upper class you have to pay. So the policy must be fair," he said.
