Satgas PKH Spokesperson Barita Simanjuntak explained that the regular\nmeeting focused on improving organisational mechanisms, supervision,\ncoordination, and accountability reporting to President Prabowo\nSubianto, in accordance with the mandate of Presidential Regulation\nNumber 5 of 2025. \"Routinely, the Satgas PKH steering and executive\nbodies carry out organisational functions as evaluation material for\ndevising strategies and steps to achieve the targets and tasks that have\nbeen set,\" Barita stated on Monday (13\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
Barita added that the evaluation and synchronisation process is\ndirectly based on the dynamics of findings, verification, and validation\nin the field. Moreover, the committee\u2019s daily tasks involve close\ncooperation from 12 ministries and agencies, including TNI elements for\narea security. \"The evaluation discusses field findings and various\nissues in the dynamics of state control over forest areas and the\ncollection of administrative fines,\" Barita elaborated.<\/p>\n
To date, the Satgas PKH claims to have secured several significant\nachievements. These include the reclamation of millions of hectares of\nforest land by the state, asset recovery, and the collection of\nadministrative fines, which is reportedly now entering its seventh\nphase. Although the coordination meeting was held suddenly, Barita\ndeclined to provide a specific answer when asked whether the evaluation\nand restructuring of the task force\u2019s management were a direct\nconsequence of the legal troubles facing former Satgas PKH Executive\nChairman Febrie Adriansyah. Febrie Adriansyah officially resigned from\nhis position as Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes before being\nnamed a suspect by the police on Saturday (11\/7\/2026).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/defence-minister-gathers-tni-commander-and-attorney-general-to-evaluate-forest-area-control-task-force-1783939871", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
