JAKARTA - Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait (Ara) asked Lippo Group Boss to return the Meikarta apartment consumer money amounting to Rp26.8 billion.

Based on the Complaints of Integrated Housing Consumers, there were 118 complaints related to Meikarta. In detail, as many as 102 consumers have completed the files with a total compensation of Rp. 26,855,558,439.

"This figure (Rp26.8 billion) is for 102 consumers. Are you (Director General of the KPK Settlement Area Fitrah Nur), are you sure? Have you cross-checked?" said Ara in a Lippo Group mediation with Meikarta consumers at Wisma Mandiri, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 23.

"Mr James Riady, I'm sorry. I only gave this one opportunity. Yes, please take care of it," said Ara to the Lippo Group officials.

Based on the presentation delivered by the Director General (Dirjen) of the PKP Settlement Area Fitrah Nur, Ara said, there are still 16 consumers who have not finished filing.

Therefore, Ara asked his subordinates to complete the files for the 16 consumers before June 1.

Then, Ara asked James Riady and the Meikarta developer to clean up the payment of consumer money as soon as possible.

Ara also gave the payment completion period until July 23, 2025.

On that occasion, James thanked Ara for bridging Lippo with Meikarta consumers. James ensured that Meikarta's consumer money would be paid soon.

"I am sure that Meikarta should just follow the direction of the Minister (Ara). The period of all meeting with the Minister is not over," said James.

"If Meikarta does development, the land is ready, the infrastructure is ready, definitely something like this will be resolved as well. Please be pleased to accept such an expression," he concluded.
