epok administration in West Java has submitted a request to the National Land Agency (BPN) to certify 500 city-owned land plots, an official has said.
Depok Finance Agency head Nina Suzana said that the land has yet to be certified and may pose a problem in the future as it would be prone to dispute among other parties.
“Depok has a problem with its assets’ list particularly in inventorying social and public facilities in housing and apartment areas,” Nina was quoted by tempo.co.
She said that the plots were in the form of government offices, schools, public health centers and other public facilities.
She added that the government had certified 25 land plots since last year and targeted to add other 100 plots each year.
“The main focus is to certify land plots for schools. Since we separated from Bogor, we have certified 258 land plots in total,” she said.
City councilor Quirta Wijaya has urged the administration to expedite the land inventory of the city’s assets to avoid land disputes. (fac)
