JAKARTA - Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait will ask developers to be able to build housing or housing by utilizing existing land. For example, he said, land owned by BUMN or TNI.

According to him, later the construction will be assisted by the private sector.

"We have to work together with all strengths because many Indonesians do not have a home. So, we have to massively and work together from existing assets, either owned by the state or confiscated and build cooperation," said Maruarar at the PUPR Ministry Office, Jakarta, Monday night, October 21.

"However, the construction of houses in the city is also very important. We also want land in the city, so that later the community will no longer need to stay away from the area to the city," he continued.

One of the issues in the housing program is how to procure land. In the future, he will use the existing land as much as possible so that it can be used to build people's houses in various regions.

"We have coordinated with the Attorney General. Because there are a lot of confiscated land and how it can be utilized. In addition, from the Minister of SOEs, for example, KAI, there are many lands that can be used for the location of house construction," he said.

He admitted that he would coordinate with various parties to utilize the existing land for the construction site of community houses. It is necessary to learn in detail what things are related to the housing program that has been implemented so far.

"We must be ready to work hard and focus by preparing all aspects legally. We ask for a short time to prepare the legal regulations conceptually and can run in the field. So, the housing program can move forward," he said.
