The land is divided into several kaplings which are then rented to 17 tenants.
"This land is leased to 17 tenants with an area (total) of 1,980 square meters," he said.
He explained that the rental price for each kapling varies, ranging from Rp. 50 million to Rp. 100 million for a five-year lease.

In addition to houses, a number of kaplings are also used as RW Halls and green open spaces (RTH).
"Tenants are informed that after five years, (rent) can be extended," he said.
Haris emphasized that the process of renting the village cash land was carried out without obtaining the permission of the DIY Governor as stipulated in the DIY Governor Regulation Number 34 of 2017 concerning the Utilization of Village Cash Land.
He revealed that the total rent received by suspect R was around IDR 1.3 billion and after learning about the investigation from the police, all the money was returned to each tenant.

Based on the results of the audit of the calculation of state financial losses by the DIY Representative of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), the value of state financial losses due to the case amounted to IDR 1,740,213,500.
"Village cash land cannot be used for housing, the buildings there will be followed up after the court decision," he said.
