JAKARTA - The Ministry of Human Rights (KemenhAM) ensures relocation in the Tesso Nilo National Park (TNTN) area in Riau Province is on their own will with a scheme provided by the government.
The Director General of Services and Compliance (PDK) of the Ministry of Defense, Munafrizal Manan, admitted that he had gone directly to the field and met with residents and obtained a more complete picture.
According to him, there are elements of the community who consciously choose to follow the settlement scheme provided by the government.
"Yesterday, we made sure if this is something they want. They said yes they want it. Then, will this later have an impact on their well-being, so far not because they are still able to harvest the crops," he said in a meeting at the Riau Governor's Office, Pekanbaru, Monday, quoted by Antara.
He said the government was trying to ensure that the level of public welfare did not decline. He ensured that residents would not suddenly lose their livelihoods or homes due to the process of resolving the area.
"We want to ensure that no community suddenly loses their livelihood or their right to their home. That is our main concern," he said.
Meanwhile, the Acting Governor of Riau, SF Hariyanto, said that the central government and the provincial government remained committed to safeguarding the basic rights of the people. Starting from the right to welfare, education, to legal certainty in the process of handling TNTN.
PSF Hariyanto also added that until now, a total of 3,916 families (KK) have submitted and registered themselves in the settlement scheme prepared by the government.
"The government is also in this process, the rights of the people can still take the fruit. So there is no community that is relocated but they do not eat. Now there are 3,916 families who have submitted and registered themselves," he said.
