JAKARTA - Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait (Ara) asked the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to conduct an audit of strategic programs and policies in the housing and residential sector.

Ara said this step is part of the commitment of the Ministry of PKP to maintain good governance in the development of public housing, especially in programs funded by the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).

"We want to ensure that every rupiah allocated for the housing sector really provides maximum benefits for the community. Therefore, we proactively ask the BPK to conduct audits and provide recommendations for improvements if needed," said Ara in a written statement, Tuesday, February 18.

Ara did not deny that the mandate given by President Prabowo Subianto to the Ministry of PKP to build three houses in a year also has risks to think about.

Thus, said Ara, strict supervision and audits are needed from the BPK.

"It is undeniable that this large target is also full of risks that must be considered. We ask the BPK to conduct an audit of the development we have carried out. It can audit the construction of flats, special houses, Housing Financing Liquidity Facilities (FLPP) and so on. So that we work more fairly," said Ara.

Adapun Ara melakukan pertemuan dengan jajaran Pimpinan BPK pada Senin, 17 Februari.

Ara expressed his gratitude to the leadership of the BPK RI Haerul Saleh and the ranks who have given time to discuss housing financing, FLPP flats, budget efficiency and so on.

"And they are pleased to audit our ministry, as directed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto to eradicate corruption and leakage of the state budget," said Ara.

Meanwhile, Head of State Financial Audit IV Haerul Saleh also welcomed the spirit of work presented by the Ministry of PKP.

"I always remember that President Prabowo Subianto's message to implement government programs must be carried out according to procedures and regulations. For that, we hope that the implementation of the program at the Ministry of PKP must be mature in terms of planning," he concluded.
