BANDUNG - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said the issuance of land certificates through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL) brings peace to the public from abuse. " “ (If you don't have a certificate, the owner is worried) ‘ well, maybe tomorrow my (land) will be evicted, someone will grab it, claimed by irresponsible parties ’. Because they already have a certificate, they are all calm,” said AHY in Bandung Regency, West Java, Antara, Sunday, June 9. If you don't have a land certificate, that's how long the property is owned, it has no legal certainty. Seperti salah satu warga Kecamatan Kutawaringin, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, yang baru mendapatkan sertifikat tanahnya hari ini setelah rumahnya berdiri selama hampir 60 tahun. According to him, this situation should be avoided because land is not certified property rights are vulnerable to being entangled in land mafia cases. “ This is why the government continues to intensively carry out certification programs, namely PTSL, Complete Systematic Land Registration,” said AHY. Not only improving the implementation of the program, he said that his party is now also strengthening the use of digital systems to issue electronic land certificates. He said that the digital certificate was safe and well recorded in the database of the Ministry of ATR so that it could not be easily duplicated, duplicated, or falsified. In addition, AHY said that land certification is important to avoid overlapping ownership with other residents, companies, and government assets. He also asked people who do not have land certificates to immediately register their property with the City/Regency Land Office or the local provincial BPN Regional Office.

"It's very easy, coming directly to the Land Office, that's the city district level, or coming to the BPN Regional Office, that's the provincial level. We will help and we will serve it as well as possible," he added.
