Jakarta, dpd.go.id – In the Public Hearing Meeting (RDPU) of Land Bill Committee I DPD RI with keynote speakers from several non-governmental organizations (among others: AMAN, API, BINA DESA, Epistema Institute, HUMA, ICEL, IHI, JATAM , JKPP, KIARA, KPA, PUSAKA, SPI, SAINS, SP, WALIHI, and SAWIT WATCH) in DPD RI Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, (6/20/11). The RDPU led by Dani Anwar (Senator form DKI Jakarta Province) was preceded by a Plenary Meeting which agreed the writing of a letter addressed to the government regarding the case of Ruyati, a migrant worker who was beheaded in Saudi Arabia, scheduled the implementation of working committee meeting on Village Bill on 30 June to 1 July 2011 and the last Committee I would further enhance the relationship with Committee II.

According to Idham, resource persons from KPA (Consortium for Agrarian Reform), there are four main agrarian problems in Indonesia, namely the imbalance of authorization and land tenure; agrarian conflict that needs our special attention in agricultural activities; overlapping laws because he thought that the Agrarian Basic Law (UUPA) in 1960 was never noticed, and lack of identification of lands that beyond the maximum limit and absentee lands. “UUPA 1960 is the last law bastion and the only law which talks about the Land Reform which is pro to social justice,” Idham explained. “Revision of the UUPA is not the solution to overcome the overlap, disharmony and constriction of agrarian policy because many policies do not refer to the UUPA even betrayed the UUPA,” he added.

Mirna from Epistema Institute explained that UUPA, in terms of protecting people’s rights, is better although there are still some drawbacks. “We need to review all existing laws and this is the mandate of TAP MPR No.IX/2001 which is still valid and also an initiative of the government, although here we do not have institutions that are willing to take the initiative,” she said. According to her this is how we can infer whether the revision of UUPA should be done or not and if DPD RI wants cooperation with NGOs, DPD RI could be the institution to take the initiative. Mirna explained again that there are two problems in land administration, corruption and dualism of land administration in Indonesia which a blue print of the land bureaucracy reform may be the solution.

Regarding the agrarian conflict in Indonesia, another resource person revealed that the conflict occurred because land acquisition for investors is greater than for the people, for example in Merauke, therefore, the agrarian reform needs to be strengthened again. In this case authority toss in the government also happens that ultimately there is no single institution could ever resolve this land issue. When asked to trial we know that our people do not have the intact documents and considerable cost, so there is injustice here.

The senators who attended this RDPU agreed with the views of NGOs that many problems related to agrarian need to be resolved and hoped the results of the discussion in this RDPU could be the solution.
