JAKARTA - Nafirdo Ricky, one of Rocky Gerung's legal team and a resident of Bojong Koneng Village, Babakan Madang, Bogor Regency, West Java, urged the National Land Agency (BPN) of Bogor Regency to immediately hold a hearing related to the land dispute with PT Sentul City Tbk.

According to Nafirdo, his party has submitted a letter to the Bogor Regency BPN since last Thursday, September 16 to immediately schedule the hearing process.

"Yes, that's right, yesterday we urged the Bogor Regency BPN to immediately hold a hearing. We have submitted a letter to the Bogor Regency BPN since September 16," he said when contacted by VOI, Friday, October 1.

According to Firdo, his nickname, the situation in the field is still being measured and evictions are being carried out.

"Yesterday, the file that we gave was related to information on the land of Rocky Gerung and all the lands of the residents of Bojong Komeng affected by Sentul City's claim. The letter has been received, but there is no information on when the hearing will be scheduled, so we submitted the letter," he said.

At yesterday's meeting, Firdo said that his party brought the SHGB for the Bojong Koneng area to ensure the land ownership claim that had been touted by PT Sentul City Tbk.

Firdo said that the Bogor Regency BPN only promised to immediately schedule an audience with the residents because this land dispute case has already received attention from the Central and regional ATR / BPN Ministry.

"They only replied that they would do it immediately because there was a coordination meeting with the central BPN and the regional office of Bogor," he said.

Firdo said that the letter was given as information and was received by the Head of Subsidy for the Bogor Regency BPN.

"Yesterday, I met with one of the sub-district heads of the Bogor Regency BPN. I asked when the hearing would be but he couldn't answer," he said.

After giving the notification letter, the Bogor Regency BPN, he continued, said it would immediately facilitate mediation.

"They said (audience) will be held soon," he said.

The National Land Agency (BPN) of Bogor Regency claims it will schedule mediation to related parties in the case of land disputes in Bojong Koneng Village.

This was stated by the Head of the Bogor Regency BPN Office, Sepyo Achanto in response to a request for an audience submitted by the Legal Team for the Bojong Koneng Citizens' Coalition.

However, he admitted that he did not know if the residents of Bojong Koneng had submitted the request for a hearing a long time ago, on Thursday 16 September to be exact.

"Let me check later, if yes, we will facilitate it immediately, of course we are with the district government. So far we have been working with the Bogor regency government," he explained to reporters, Thursday, September 30.

Before conducting mediation, Sepyo said that his party would summon each party, starting with PT Sentul City Tbk first and then proceeding to the residents of Bojong Koneng Village, including the Rocky Gerung land. However, Sepyo failed to clearly explain the plans for the summons and mediation.
