The Forest Area Enforcement Task Force (Satgas PKH) has once again deposited Rp 13.2 trillion into the state treasury from the results of forest area enforcement. Additionally, the task force, established under the administration of President Prabowo Subogianto, reported the reclamation of 6.2 million hectares of forest area back to the state.

The President of Indonesia explained that since its formation in February 2025, the Satgas PKH has returned state wealth amounting to Rp 52 trillion through forest area enforcement. He expressed his appreciation for the task force, which is led by the Indonesian Minister of Defence acting as the Steering Committee Chair.

“I would like to express my gratitude for the hard work of the Forest Area Enforcement Task Force. I understand and recognise that the challenges you face are not light,” said Prabowo at the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (6/10/2026).

President Prabowo Subianto visited the Attorney General’s Office on Tuesday to receive the results of the Satgas PKH’s work. During the event, the Satgas PKH handed over Rp 13.2 trillion to the Ministry of Finance through Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara. This sum represents the eighth phase of the Satgas PKH’s operational results.

Prabowo added that the government’s efforts to regulate various practices that harm the state will always face resistance from parties benefiting from such irregularities. Nevertheless, he emphasised that the government will not surrender in defending truth, justice, and the interests of the people.

“The choice lies within us. Do we dare to choose the path of truth? Or do we surrender to greedy forces? Forces that are disloyal to this nation? Forces that insult the people? Forces that work to ensure Indonesia remains poor? Even though we are a very wealthy nation,” said Prabowo.

He also noted the existence of threats and intimidation faced by several members, including those directed at the families of the Satgas PKH. Consequently, the Head of State expressed his appreciation to the personnel who remain steadfast in performing their duties despite facing various pressures.

“I am grateful to those who are still willing to fight alongside me. To fight for our people. To fight for those who cannot speak. For those who have nothing,” said Prabowo.
