JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) together with the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Hadi Tjahjanto will hand over thousands of land certificates for the people of East Java, Wednesday, December 27.

According to the plan, the certificates submitted will consist of land certificates resulting from the Complete Systematic Land Registration program (PTSL), land redistribution, and waqf land certificates.

Head of the Public Relations Bureau of the Ministry of ATR/BPN Lampri said the PTSL certificate and land redistribution would be submitted at GOR Delta Sidoarjo.

A total of 4,000 people from all regencies/cities in East Java are representatives of certificate recipients from President Jokowi.

"Of the 4,000 people, 3,200 of them were land certificate recipients from the PTSL program. Then, 800 people were recipients of land redistribution certificates," Lampri said in a written statement, quoted Wednesday, December 27.

He said the certificates would be distributed directly by President Jokowi and Minister Hadi to 12 recipient representatives.

The redistribution of land distributed to the community is the result of the release of forest areas, former plantations, and other state lands.

"The completion of this land redistribution is from the regencies of Kediri, Blitar, Lumajang, Jember, and Madiun," he said.

On the same day, as many as 1,000 waqf land certificates will also be distributed at the Sidoarjo Grand Mosque.

"So, after submitting the PTSL certificate and land redistribution, President Jokowi and his entourage continued to go to the Grand Mosque to submit a waqf land certificate," he said.

The activity of handing over the waqf land certificate is the closing of a series of working visits by President Jokowi with the Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Hadi Tjahjanto in East Java.

By handing over the certificates at the two locations, East Java residents have received legal certainty on their land rights.
