The West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government met with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to consult regarding the 75 hectare land assets belonging to the provincial government in Gili Trawangan, North Lombok Regency. "The team has left for the KPK to consult," said the Governor of NTB, Zulkieflimansyah in Mataram, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, March 21. So far, the KPK has participated in overseeing the asset process of the NTB Provincial Government (Pemprov) located in Gili Trawangan. "After all, this is a big achievement of the KPK not only arresting corruption but preventing the leak of state money. Due to the KPK's success program, all of our actions have been consulted with the KPK," he said. Bang Zul, as the Governor of NTB is familiarly called, denied that the land owned by the NTB Provincial Government was already owned by foreign nationals (WNA). "Look, there are foreigners, but the one who cooperates is his wife because she is married to an overseas person or her husband from abroad. It just so happens that her wife or husband is a foreigner who opens a business," he said. It's just that, he continued, at this time there were no problems after being released from PT Gili Trawangan Indah (GTI), people who knew that the land belonged to the government and finally switched to cooperate with the government, not to individuals anymore. However, after cooperation, it turned out that the provincial government was prohibited from collaborating with parties who had used the land for a long time. "They have been using why they should cooperate with them again for a long time," explained the Governor of NTB. However, the issue of assets in Gili Trawangan, said the governor, is not only a legal issue but also a social one. Therefore, his party also does not want to prioritize the law first to solve problems in the tourist area. Even so, he continued, if there are aspirations, the provincial government is certainly ready to accommodate it. But if you already want to ask or issue the SHM, it is beyond the ability of the provincial government. Because it is the central government who has the right to give or issue it. "These problems are what are consulted with the KPK, lest we consult against the law," he said.
