Public notaries get certificates

Sixteen public notaries were sworn in as PPAT, officials who
are legally authorized to issue land certificates, by the head of
the City Land Agency, Sunar, during a ceremony at City Hall
yesterday

In his written speech, Sunar reminded the officials not to
accept bribes and fictitious state prices for the certificates
instead of the actual ones because such practices are detrimental
to the state.

On the occasion, Sunar announced the formation of IPPAT, an
association of public notaries who are authorized to issue land
certificates, the only association of its kind so far in the
country.

Sunar added that Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Chairman of
the National Land Agency Soni Harsono is expected to induct
executives into the association. (arf)
