JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Defense Agency (ATR/BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said that currently 111 million plots of land in Indonesia have been certified out of a total target of 120 million fields.

"The remaining 9 million areas have not been certified," said Minister AHY in Jakarta, Wednesday, when inaugurating the South Jakarta Administration Land Office.

AHY said that by 2024 the government is targeting 120 million plots of land throughout Indonesia to be certified. Meanwhile, until the beginning of the year, the certified amounted to 111 million plots of land.

According to him, the target can be completed by the end of the year. For this reason, his party continues to accelerate the implementation of land certificates.

"Regarding the registration of the certificate, we want to pursue the achievements that have been made before. We want to increase land certification throughout Indonesia," he said.

Of the remaining 9 million plots of land, his party will accelerate the Free Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program so that the target can be realized by 2024.

According to him, with the land certificate, the legal force for land ownership is getting stronger so that people don't have to worry anymore about the land being lost, because it already has legal legality.

"This is what we will pursue as part of the PTSL program, we want this to be more massive and in the end all people have an official certificate. This means that legal certainty over the land has legal force," he said.

Minister AHY inaugurated the Land Office in South Jakarta on Wednesday. He hopes that the new office can serve the community more professionally and humanely.

In addition, his party also hopes to be more trusted by the community. Therefore, ATR/BPN will continue to be present to serve the wider community.

"Hopefully it will make us more trusted, because we want the government to be present to serve the community as well as possible," he said.
