JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Hadi Tjahjanto opened his voice regarding the status of the Right to Use Business (HGU) managed by Prabowo Subianto on an area of 340,000 hectares.

"If the HGU (Business Rights), everything has a ministerial decision and it is legal, and has a time period," said Minister Hadi after the Submission of Technical Assistance Results for Spatial Planning (RDTR) through the Budget for Additional Expenditures for the State General Treasurer Budget (ABT BA BUN) 2023 in Jakarta reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 10.

Hadi gave a response regarding the statement by the presidential candidate Anies Baswedan who said that Prabowo Subianto's presidential candidate had 340,000 hectares of land in Indonesia.

According to the Minister of ATR, the land managed by Prabowo Subianto has the status of Administrative Rights (HGU) which is regulated by a ministerial decree and is valid for a predetermined period of time.

Hadi emphasized that the existence of the HGU was based on a ministerial decision and had a certain period of time given according to need, and could be extended.

However, Minister Hadi did not provide an in-depth explanation regarding the status of the HGU period, whether it is still valid or has been extended.

However, at the end of his response, Hadi only emphasized that the HGU could indeed be given and could be extended as needed.

"That's the timeframe, of course, we will see it as needed and it can be extended. So it's legal, legal," said the Minister of ATR.

Previously, the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) also answered Anies' accusation that Prabowo had 340,000 hectares of land in Indonesia.

According to Zulhas, who served as Minister of Forestry from 2009 to 2014, the company owned by Prabowo was indeed given business use rights (HGU) for a number of lands in Kalimantan and Aceh.

"As far as I know, Pak Prabowo has (HGU), but it's not that big. If I'm not mistaken, around 60,000 hectares are in Kalimantan and in Aceh, but some have been returned to the State," said Zulhas when met at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (9/1).

Zulhas emphasized that tens of thousands of hectares of land are only lent by the state to be managed by corporations, which are owned by many people, one of whom is Prabowo.

"And it is also borrowed to be used, not owned by Pak Prabowo personally, but a corporate," said Zulhas.
