JAKARTA Member of Commission II of the DPR Indrajaya responded to the apology of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Nusron Wahid, for his statement that all land belongs to the state. Indrajaya assessed that it would be better for Nusron to focus on eradicating the land mafia.
"We at Commission II of the DPR RI hope that Minister Nusron will immediately direct all ranks in ATR/BPN to eradicate the land mafia seriously, firmly, and measuredly. Because many people are victims, real steps are needed," said Indrajaya, Tuesday, August 12.
According to him, Nusron's statement has caused a commotion in the public sphere. However, he still appreciated the attitude of the Minister of ATR who openly admitted his mistake.
The apology shows that Minister Nusron has the courage and humility to straighten out statements that cause uproar in society. This is a good step to maintain public trust," said Indra.
Indrajaya reminded that the eradication of the land mafia must be carried out in synergy with law enforcement officers, local governments, and relevant stakeholders. The reason, said Indra, is that the land mafia is a serious problem, so it takes seriousness from the government.
"The key is in consistent law enforcement, transparency of land services, and protection of people's rights," said the PKB legislator.
Indrajaya said land disputes involving land mafias often impoverish the community and hinder development. In fact, according to him, there are people who have SHM, but suddenly other certificates appear.
"Therefore, I urge Nusron Wahid to prioritize reform within BPN and take firm action against those who play behind land cases," he concluded.
Previously, Minister Nusron stated that the entire land was basically state property. According to him, the community is only given the right to manage and utilize it according to applicable regulations.
This statement was conveyed by Nusron in response to the views of some people who consider ancestral heritage land to be an absolute right that cannot be contested.
After the statement sparked controversy and protests from various parties, Minister Nusron finally apologized to the public and explained the meaning of the statement he had previously made.
