Jakarta — The Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs (Kemkomdigi) has conducted asset reorganisation at the ministry, resulting in the identification of 45 hectares of state land that can be utilised to construct approximately 170,000 residential units.

The land asset located in Depok, West Java is being prepared for transfer to the Ministry of Housing and Human Settlements (PKP) to enable prompt utilisation in accordance with the President’s priority programme.

“There is idle state-owned land that can be utilised to create decent housing for the community through the President’s programmes. The location is also favourable and strategic,” said Minister of Communications and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid.

The Minister of Housing and Human Settlements Maruarar Sirait expressed appreciation to the Communications and Digital Ministry for donating the land for the public housing development programme.
