Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), Mahfud MD said the government would prepare a budget in the context of resolving past gross human rights violations non-judicially aimed at restoring victims' rights.
"And we are ready to provide what is needed for this, the state must pay, yes pay. I just spoke with friends from the Ministry of Finance, the state must provide a budget. Next year, how much, next year," said Mahfud after attending a working meeting with Committee I DPD, at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday 4 July, confiscated by Antara.
He said the budget was intended to support victims of past gross human rights violations. Starting from the cost of education and job training, establishment and business assistance, to the construction of water infrastructure.
"Then there is a diesel program for fishermen, access to capital financing and so on, which abroad we give, if you want to go home I admit as a citizen, 'he really can't go home, now he's home, the state guarantees," he said.
He said that at the launch of the program for implementing the recommendation for the non-judicial completion of gross human rights violations in Aceh, Tuesday, June 27, President Jokowi provided a number of compensation to victims, including housing construction or renovations.
