BPKP Tasked by President to Oversee Implementation of 3 Million Homes Programme
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) has received a mandate from President Prabowo Subianto, via the Minister of Housing and Residential Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait, to assist and oversee the implementation of the 3 million houses programme to ensure it proceeds effectively from start to finish.
“As the government’s internal auditor, BPKP’s role is not only to perform oversight but also to provide assistance so that programme governance is implemented accountably, transparently, and in accordance with regulations,” stated the Head of BPKP, Muhammad Yusuf Ateh, in an official statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Furthermore, this assistance is intended to ensure that the entire process runs smoothly, minimises the potential for irregularities, and ensures that every stage of programme implementation is accountable.
A primary focus for BPKP is ensuring that the programme accurately reaches its intended targets. He emphasised that the benefits must be felt by those truly entitled to them, particularly Low-Income Communities (MBR) and informal workers, who represent a significant demographic, especially in the Cikarang and Bekasi regions of West Java.
“As auditors, we have been tasked by the President, and specifically the Minister of PKP, to accompany and oversee this programme effectively, ensuring good governance, preventing deviations, and, most importantly, ensuring it is precisely targeted to those with low incomes, particularly the large number of informal workers in the Cikarang and Bekasi areas,” said Ateh.
To this end, BPKP is fully committed to the programme’s execution through synergy with all stakeholders, including the Ministry of Housing and Residential Areas, the Ministry of Finance, Danantara, and the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN).
BPKP hopes that through robust oversight and cross-ministerial coordination, the programme can be implemented effectively, maintain good governance, remain free from irregularities, and provide tangible benefits to those in need.
Additionally, the government has received a land grant covering 30 hectares located in the Meikarta area, Cikar of Bekasi Regency. This land is planned for the construction of subsidised low-cost flats (rusun) intended for low-income communities. The availability of this granted land is expected to accelerate the development of vertical housing areas in the Jakarta satellite regions.
