The government has begun paving the way for the resolution of land\ndisputes that have plagued the Transmigrasi Swakarsa Mandiri (TSM) SP4\narea in Gambut Jaya Village, Sungai Gelam District, Muaro Jambi Regency,\nfor nearly 17 years.<\/p>\n
This step emerged during the Final Case Review Meeting held by the\nMinistry of Agraria and Spatial Planning\/National Land Agency (ATR\/BPN)\nalongside the Ministry of Transmigration in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Transmigration, M. Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara,\nstated that the resolution of this issue pertains not only to the status\nof land certificate ownership but also to the state\u2019s responsibility to\nprovide legal certainty for transmigrant communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor almost 17 years, the transmigrant community has been waiting for\ncertainty. The state must not allow them to continue waiting. Our duty\nis to ensure that the rights of the community are protected while\nsimultaneously maintaining legal certainty,\u201d he said, as reported on\nTuesday, 30 June 2026.<\/p>\n
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister of ATR\/BPN, Ossy\nDermawan, officials from the Ministry of Transmigration, the Muaro Jambi\nRegency Government, the BPN Regional Office of Jambi Province, the Muaro\nJambi Regency Land Office, and several related agencies.<\/p>\n
The case review serves as the final stage of a long process involving\ndocument research, party clarification, cross-agency coordination, and\njoint field surveys.<\/p>\n
Based on the research findings, 67 plots of land were identified\nwithin the transmigrant reserve area, in accordance with Jambi\nGovernor\u2019s Decree Number 285 of 1990.<\/p>\n
Of that number, 50 plots covering approximately 99.48 hectares are\nrecommended for follow-up through legal mechanisms due to discovered\nadministrative errors. Meanwhile, 17 plots covering approximately 24.53\nhectares were found to have no administrative errors and will therefore\ncontinue to receive legal protection.<\/p>\n
Iftitah emphasised that the transmigrant community arrived in the\narea as part of a government programme. Therefore, the state has a\nresponsibility to ensure their rights remain protected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis issue is not merely a dispute between certificate holders and\nthe transmigrant community. What is at stake is whether the state\ncontinues to respect the decisions it made itself when reserving this\narea for the transmigration programme,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
He reaffirmed that the government will continue to adhere to the\nprinciples of a constitutional state, ensuring all land plots are\nexamined objectively based on facts and applicable regulations.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/transmigration-minister-ensures-muaro-jambi-land-dispute-resolution-proceeds-according-to-law-1782827586", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
