JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo revealed that he will require mining companies to rehabilitate and reclamation the former mining land in order to create good practice mining.
"Everyone is carrying out rehabilitation, all mining companies carry out reclamation with international standards and good environmental standards," said President Jokowi after reviewing and inaugurating Sawerigading Wallacea's Kehati Park at PT Vale Indonesia, quoted on Friday, March 31.
Jokowi continued that he would also prepare special rules so that mining companies would carry out land reclamation obligations.
"The rules of the game will be prepared so that it is clear. I will force it to want it," he added.
The Head of State continued that the implementation of this reclamation is not difficult and does not require large costs.
"I don't think it's difficult. It's just like or not. And I will force it to stick to regulations. It's not expensive," Jokowi continued.
Meanwhile, for mining areas that have already been damaged, Jokowi said the government would evaluate the area. Because according to him, Indonesia is still weak in the field control management sector.
"Because our weakness is in the management of field control. This is what we want to strengthen so that everyone must. It's not a difficult thing after I look on the field," concluded the President.
