DENPASAR - Bali Governor Wayan Koster conveyed to the Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait that there are 32 thousand Uninhabitable Houses (RTLH) in Bali that need repairs.
"In Bali, there are 32,000 RTLHs that are part of the central, provincial and district/city authorities. Most of them are districts/cities as many as 22 thousand residential units that we need," said Koster, Monday, November 24.
To the Minister of PKP, Wayan Koster asked for more housing surgery in accordance with the budget ceiling in ABBN.
The rest, the Province of Bali and the city/district government in Bali will make improvements according to their fiscal capabilities.
Koster stated that he wanted to resolve the handling of the problem of this habitable house in Bali Province in the remaining term of office as Governor of Bali.
"If possible within 5 years, everything can be completed in Bali Province so that there are no more Balinese people living or houses that are not livable anymore," he said.
Koster appreciated the program of 3 million houses initiated by the Prabowo Subianto Government for low-income communities in rural, coastal and urban areas.
In Bali Province itself, said Koster, the area does reach these 3 areas which require accelerated handling of houses so that people can get decent houses.
He understands that other regions in Indonesia need a much higher quota than Bali.
However, the existing fiscal condition, Koster asked the Ministry of PKP to start working on the program in Bali starting in 2026.
Responding to this, PKP Minister Maruarar Sirait said he would follow up on the proposal to start repairing uninhabitable houses in Bali.
"We will study. This year only 45 thousand from the state budget to renovate uninhabitable houses. However, next year it will be 400 thousand. The increase is about eight times as large," he said.
He is committed to the target of 400,000 RTLH improvements, which will renovate people's homes that are not livable to make them more feasible.
He ensured that repairs to uninhabitable houses would begin in Denpasar.
"Next year we will start in Denpasar 100 RTLH. I think in Bali there are still uninhabitable houses so that they can be repaired gradually. I am happy to be able to work well with the Governor, Mr. Wali Denpasar so that we take concrete steps for change," he said.
