Mahfud MD receives data from the ruler of hundreds of thousands of HGU lands: …

JAKARTA – From year to year the control of thousands of hectares of land by a handful continues to be questioned. Unfortunately, during that time there was no solution that could satisfy the sense of justice for the people in general.

Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD revealed the complexity of solving management problems land use rights (HGU) . But he stressed that the problem must be solved.

“I received a list of the governing groups of the HGU, each of which controls hundreds of thousands of hectares. This is Crazy. Control is obtained from the Government from time to time, it is not new. This is a waste of the past that it is complicated to solve because it is protected by the formal law. But we have to do it “ Mahfud wrote on his twitter account @mohmahfudmd, on Friday (12/25/2020).

Several netizens responded to Mahfud’s tweets, one of them questioning why he wasn’t left alone until the HGU term ended. After all, the HGU was legally granted by the government. Mahfud recognized that this solution was the most realistic.

“That is the most realistic way. The problem can be solved immediately by saying,” Yes, yes, that was given by the government legally, let it go, wait for the expiration date. ” but the problem is that many consider it unfair,“Mahfud said.

The account @ Fianto94 is even quite fierce in response, “Why did you share it on Twitter? Don’t take RIL action?”

Mahfud also explained that he was not confessing, but provided information that the HGU land issue was not as simple as many people might imagine.

“In fact, we are taking action. Do not trust, but report the complicated. We are still trying to fix it. The problem is that these rights were previously legally granted by the legitimate government, so they cannot be taken away. The way to solve it too. it has to be a legally valid form. “ Mahfud replied.

The issue of land tenure for the HGU resurfaced after PTPN VIII filed a lawsuit against the land for the Islamic boarding school and Agrocultural Markaz Syariah in Megamendung, Bogor Regency, West Java, belonging to the Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab.

Former DPR President Marzuki Alie called on Mahfud to take the side of justice and asked not to take Habib Rizieq’s assets, which were very beneficial to the people.

“I request, for the sake of ummah, that HRS may be punished if found guilty by the court, but assets that are beneficial to ummah should not be disposed of. Frankly, this heart is very unacceptable, although there are many corrupters, their assets do not run out, they live comfortably in jail and go back to living in luxury. Not to mention that millions of hectares are controlled by conglomerates, there must be many violations of the law in it,“ Marzuki said in a WhatsApp message to Mahfud.
