Regency offices may be seized
Regency offices may be seized
TANGERANG: Offices of the Tangerang administration and council
in Tiga Raksa subdistrict were almost confiscated by the
Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) on Wednesday, because
the land certificate was pawned by developer PT Panca Wira Sakti.
The developer, which built the offices with an agreement from
the administration in 1996, is currently in possession of the
land certificate for the 80-hectare plot.
"We have urged the regent to handle the issue with haste to
avoid IBRA confiscating this land," said council spokesman Dadang
Kartasasmita.
The old administration building on Jl. Daan Mogot was too
narrow, so then-regent Tadjus Sobirin made an agreement with the
developer to build the new building in Tiga Raksa without
permission from the council.
Dadang said that the agreement was illegal without the
council's approval.
He also called on the central government to understand the
problem and not to seize the land. -- Antara
