Gresik, E Java (ANTARA) - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, known as AHY, has assured that the transformation of public services for land certificate processing is being pursued through digitalization and transparency.
During a visit to Gresik, East Java, on Friday, AHY said that his commitment to accelerate the land administration process by utilizing digital technology was a part of the government's agenda, which was emphasized by President Joko Widodo as well.
"This effort is a part of the government's spirit," he said. "The President asked us to pursue digital transformation in line with efforts to modernize the government."
He remarked that the use of electronic land certificates at all land offices across Indonesia is aimed at providing faster and more transparent services to all levels of society.
"We ensure faster, more transparent, and more accountable service, as well as no third party for permit requests," he said.
AHY said that another advantage offered by electronic certificates is the ease of data management. Each certificate is equipped with a barcode containing complete information regarding the land owner, land area, map location, and other details.
Data from the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning shows 113.5 million plots of land have been certified out of the targeted 120 million plots under the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program this year.
