Mirna from Epistema Institute, explained that the UUPA in terms of protecting people’s rights are better, although there are still some drawbacks. “We need to review all existing laws and it is an mandate of MPR decree No.IX/2001 which is valid and also an initiative of the government, although in here we do not have institutions that are willing to take the initiative”, she said.

Described by Mirna, there are two problems in land administration, the corruption and the dualism on land administration in Indonesia that the solution is by making a blue print of the land reform bureaucracy.

“Basic Agrarian Act of 1960 is the last bastion of law and the only Act which talks about the pro Land Reform to social justice,” explained Idham.
