JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the House of Representatives Yanuar Prihatin warned the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Hadi Tjahjanto to resolve communication barriers and the settlement of land for the State Capital (IKN) with local residents, customary lands, to the sultanate. .

Yanuar Prihatin assessed that the change of Minister of ATR/Head of BPN implied a message about President Jokowi wanting more guaranteed targets in the land sector to be achieved.

"The issue of IKN land must be resolved immediately. The president seems to have caught that IKN land is not clear and clean. There are still barriers to communication and settlement of IKN land with local residents, customary lands, to the sultanate," said Yanuar as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 17.

Therefore, according to him, the IKN land issue is one of the urgent issues that must be resolved by the Minister of ATR/Head of BPN.

According to him, the position of Minister of ATR which was carried out by a former TNI Commander is expected to be resolved more quickly, peacefully, and the settlement options can be accepted by all relevant stakeholders.

"More important of all is the achievement target of the Ministry of ATR/BPN in the remaining term of President Jokowi until 2024. This ministerial change implies that Jokowi wants targets in the land sector to be guaranteed to be achieved," he said.

According to him, various land issues must be resolved properly, especially those related to land mafia, land certification, agrarian reform, human resources in the land sector, and work culture at the Ministry of ATR/BPN.

Previously, President Jokowi appointed Zulkifli Hasan as Minister of Trade and Hadi Tjahjanto as Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (BPN) at the State Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday.

The inauguration of Zulkifli Hasan and Hadi Tjahjanto was based on the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia (Keppres) Number 64P of 2022 concerning the Appointment of State Ministers for the Advanced Indonesian Cabinet for the Period of 2019-2024 which was set on June 15, 2022.

President Jokowi also inaugurated three new deputy ministers for the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet, namely Wempi Wetipo as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Afriansyah Noor as Deputy Minister of Manpower, and Raja Juli Anthony as Deputy Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Deputy Head of the National Land Agency.

The inauguration of the three deputy ministers was based on the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Number 24 M of 2022 concerning the Dismissal and Appointment of Deputy Ministers of the Advanced Indonesian Cabinet for the 2019-2024 period.
