P
resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has urged the National Land Agency to accelerate the certification of land to prevent agrarian conflicts. Jokowi wants to see millions of land certificates issued every year.
"I think if we work together with the provincial governments, we can at least issue 5 million land certificates a year," Jokowi said in a limited meeting on agrarian reform at the State Palace on Wednesday.
Jokowi said the Agrarian and Spatial Planning Ministry should improve its land management practices to minimize potential disputes between businesses and communities.
Jokowi added that the spirit of land reform was in the realization of justice in land ownership, usage and the fair utilization of natural resources.
"Certification is crucial," Jokowi said. (dan)
