JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to regulate the management of land assets inherited from the Netherlands. This needs to be done to avoid the potential loss of assets in the form of land and buildings.

This was conveyed by the contact person for the KPK for the DKI area, Hendra Teja during a discussion meeting on controlling the management of Dutch heritage land assets/objects of the Committee for the Implementation of Control of Fixed Property in the Netherlands (P3MB)/Dwikora Cabinet Presidium 1955 (PRK.5). This activity was held at the KPK's Red and White Building, Thursday, October 28 yesterday.

"We understand together that the problem in managing the strategically valuable assets of the former Netherlands has the potential to lose assets in the form of land or buildings. For this reason, the KPK is here to close the gap for potential corruption or state losses," Hendra said as quoted from a written statement, Friday, October 29. .

In addition, the KPK also encourages the optimization of the utilization of these assets in order to increase the local revenue of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) and they issue four other recommendations.

First, the KPK agreed to extend the SIP for the same name, but still pushed for a moratorium on granting SIP to the heirs of the former Dutch house occupants.

Second, the KPK encourages the Ministry of ATR/BPN and the DKI Provincial Government to form a joint team and reconcile data, as well as coordinate in terms of land services for the ex-Dutch land.

Third, it is necessary to think about an evaluation mechanism related to the use of assets for regional revenues and regulations that need to be prepared as a legal basis.

"Finally, it is necessary to identify the ex-Dutch land which, based on the provisions, belongs or can be owned by the DKI Provincial Government or the state, so that physical security and certification processes can be carried out immediately," said Hendra.

Regarding former Dutch residences in Jakarta, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Public Housing and Settlement Area Agency (DPRKP) said the number of Housing Permits (SIP) issued amounted to 1,281 fields.

Next, there was also the issuance of 62 SIPs for P3MB ownership and 3 SIPs for PRK5 ownership, which included 564 housing units with SIP but whose ownership was not yet known and this caused problems. What is meant by SIP is a permit granted as a right to inhabit which is valid for 3 years and is not a right to own.

"If at this time we ask them to leave the dwelling, a new problem will arise, namely where will they live? Even though at this time we are very overwhelmed with dealing with the problems of proper housing, for example due to evictions," said the Head of Regulation and Community Participation of the Provincial Government DPRKP. DKI Jakarta Ledy Natalia.

Furthermore, Ledy said that the rental fee due to the issuance of the SIP is very cheap. He gave an example for house assets in the Menteng area, for example, Rp. 100,000 per year.

With this condition, the representative of the DKI Jakarta Provincial ATR/BPN Regional Office M. Unu Ibnudin said that the ex-Dutch land is state land controlled by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to be then leased to the public and 25 percent of the rental price will go to the state treasury.

However, he proposed sampling the execution of SIP termination in the Central Jakarta area so that the DKI Provincial Government which has a civil element can begin the process of fulfilling the certification registration requirements to provide legal certainty for these assets.

"This needs to be done in order to provide legal certainty for these assets and provide optimal services to the people of DKI Jakarta. My suggestion is that we start with houses on land with Kota Praja ownership status that have not been recorded as assets belonging to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," said Unu.
