JAKARTA - PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (Persero) (RNI) has secured strategic assets of companies located in Surabaya.

RNI Corporate Secretary Yosdian Adi Pramono said that one of the strategic assets currently in the process of being executed and taken over is RNI's 5,100 square meter land located on Jalan Undaan Kulon, Surabaya City.

The land is a land with a strategic location in the middle of the city of Surabaya. If we optimize it, it can certainly have a significant impact on efforts to strengthen the company's food business," he said, Wednesday, January 29.

Yosdian emphasized that RNI is the legal owner of the Undaan Kulon land with legality in the form of a Building Use Rights (HGB) certificate Number 29 of 2027 which has been extended until 2028.

"Unfortunately, more than 20 years ago this asset has been controlled without basis by the Trisila Foundation or YPT Trisila. Currently, the company is taking firm steps to return the asset to the state," he explained.

According to Yosdian, the execution process has received a stipulation from the Surabaya District Court (PN). This is in accordance with the Supreme Court's decision which has permanent legal force in 2018.

In essence, the decision sentenced the defendant (YPT Trisila) to hand over the land and buildings to RNI in an empty and perfect condition, taking into account the provisions of PP No. 223 of 1959 and PP No 49 of 1963.

He ensured that in the process of taking over the land, RNI adhered to the principles of governance, transparency, public order, and put forward procedures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations based on humanity.

"In the process, we collaborated with the State Attorney for the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia and the Surabaya District Court Confiscation Officer. This is to ensure that the steps taken remain within the corridor of the law," he explained.

Previously, RNI had also taken pre-execution steps, such as dialogue and mediation with YTP Trisila, but YPT Trisila was not willing to vacate the land without being followed by compensation or compensation.

Regarding the request for compensation, he said, there were no provisions in the ruling that stated that RNI had to or was required to provide replacement land for the land assets taken back.

This is also based on Government Regulation no. 223 of 1961 and Regulation no. 4 of 1963 quoted in the Supreme Court's decision, where in the two regulations there are no provisions regarding the provision of compensation in the form of relocation.

Furthermore, Yosdian said, RNI is serious about ensuring that every stage of the land takeover runs and is carried out 100 percent according to the timeline. Of course, not only for land assets on Jalan Undaan Surabaya which will be carried out in the near future, but also for other company assets that are in the process of being secured.

"This is important, considering this effort is a commitment to protect state assets so that they can be optimized for the benefit and benefits of a greater community. One of them is the development of the RNI food business such as the use of logistics facilities in the program to fulfill nutrition and distribute food," he said.

Meanwhile, the Attorney General's Office at the Attorney General's Office as RNI's Attorney, Anton Arifullah, stated that RNI had taken legal action in accordance with applicable regulations and there was no legal basis or obligation for RNI to provide fees, money, or compensation in any form to YPT Trisila.
