Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the House of Representatives, Junimart Girsang, has encouraged the establishment of a special law to assist the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Defense Agency (ATR/BPN) in completing the Agrarian Reform target.

One of the problems faced is the certification process of 9 million hectares of land, of which 4.1 million comes from forest areas.

"Yes, if we look at the workload and the heavy task of what Agrarian Reform is, I say it must be a special law that regulates this in order to achieve a large work house for Agrarian Reform," Junimart told reporters in Bali, Friday, May 14.

Not only the Law, Junimart also encourages the establishment of a special agency. This is because in this case ATR/BPN will intersect with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK).

With this special agency, the two ministries can merge to complete the target of certification of 9 million hectares of land.

"Most of the 9 million are the release of forest areas, so communication is very necessary," said Junimart.

President Joko Widodo in Nawacita has targeted 9 million hectares of land as targets of Agrarian Reform.

The government targets 9 million hectares of agrarian reform to target 4.1 million hectares from forest areas and 0.4 hectares from non-forest areas. While the remaining 4.5 million hectares are through the land certification program.
