JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Hadi Tjahjanto reminded residents of Sukamakmur Village, Ajung District, Jember Regency, East Java, not to use their land certificates to moneylenders.
"Be careful with fraud. If you want to use it or want to borrow money, don't go to moneylenders directly to the bank. If you go to moneylenders, the certificate will be lost and the designation can change," Hadi said when handing over 250 land certificates to the people of Sukamakmur Village in Jember Regency, East Java, Antara., Friday, January 6th.
He also reminded the public not to borrow money from banks for consumptive purposes, such as buying motorized vehicles.
"But, use the loan money from the certificate to the bank for productive needs, such as MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises)," explained the former TNI commander.
He also advised the public to maintain the certificates that have been obtained to be safe from threats from the land mafia because they have received legal certainty.
"So, the certificate is really stored. If necessary, go home and be photographed; the original is stored in a cupboard, so that if it is damaged we can exchange the original at the Land Office with the help of the police chief. So, what the government wants (is) that you get assets with legal certainty," he said.
To date, the Ministry of ATR/BPN has issued 390 land redistribution certificates in Sukamakmur Village. Previously, a 140 field certificate had been submitted on December 28, 2022.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of ATR Raja Juli Antoni, who was present at the handover of the land redistribution certificate, also expressed his hope that the land certificate given could provide welfare.
"With this certificate, farmers, laborers, and the entire community there can smile sweetly and feel the presence of the state through the agrarian reform program," said Juli.
The certificate comes from land redistribution by BPN Jember based on the Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs/Head of BPN Number 33-VIII-1999 concerning Cancellation of HGU on plantation land Ajunggayasan-Binggawah which was recorded on behalf of PTP XXVII in Jember Regency, East Java, covering an area of 31,117.02 hectares.
