PORTALJABAR, CIMAHI CITY - The West Java Provincial Government (Pemda) is accelerating asset management as a key strategy to close the gaps in corruption in governance. All assets belonging to the West Java Provincial Government, as well as district and city governments, are targeted to be certified within the next three years.

This step is not only aimed at ensuring administrative order, but also at ensuring that all government assets have legal certainty, thereby protecting them from potential disputes or control by unauthorized parties.

This commitment was emphasized by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi when attending the Coordination Meeting of the Corruption Prevention Monitoring Controlling for Surveillance (MCSP) Program at the Office of the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of West Java Province, Cimahi City, Tuesday (4/8/2026).

According to him, legal certainty over assets is an important foundation in building a clean, transparent, and accountable government.

"This activity involves spatial planning, land management, and land certification. Hopefully, I hope all regional assets, both provincial and district/city, will be certified within the next three years," said Dedi.

For the figure known as KDM, land issues are more than just administrative matters. Years of disorderly asset management have created room for irregularities, even resulting in assets that should belong to the state being transferred to private or corporate ownership.

Therefore, he reminded all ATR/BPN ranks not to repeat practices that occurred in the past.

"Many areas along riverbanks, roadsides, springs, and lakes are owned by individuals or companies, and are even certified not in the name of the state, but in the name of individuals or private individuals. This must no longer happen," KDM stressed.

According to him, areas that have ecological functions and public interests must remain under state control so that environmental sustainability, public safety, and development interests can be maintained.

KDM also asked all regional heads to make asset certification a budget priority.

Because without valid ownership documents, government assets have the potential to give rise to legal disputes and reduce their utility value for the community.

"I urge regional heads to budget and finance this so that all regional assets have authentic deeds," he said.

To expedite this process, the West Java Provincial Government is ready to expand collaboration to the village level. One way is through support for the thematic Community Service Program (KKN), which involves universities in assisting with land inventory and management.

"If it's held in villages, the province will support the KKN (Community Service Program) which is working on land management issues in West Java," said KDM.

The West Java Provincial Government's steps are in line with the policy direction of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) which encourages strengthening the regional economy through improvements to land and spatial planning services.

In his presentation, the Expert Staff to the Minister of ATR/Head of the National Land Agency for Regional Development, Dony Erwan Brilianto, explained that the central government is offering a number of collaborative program packages with local governments as part of strengthening land governance and preventing corruption.

The program includes accelerating land registration, integrating the Land Identification Number (NIB) with the Tax Object Number (NOP), accelerating the preparation of RDTR integrated with the OSS system, integrating land services at the Public Service Mall, strengthening the role of the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA), and developing the Land Value Zone (ZNT).

"All of this is aimed at increasing legal certainty, protecting government assets, accelerating investment, increasing regional revenue, and reducing the potential for land conflicts," Dony explained.

From a corruption prevention perspective, government asset certification is not merely a matter of administrative legality. Certainty over land's legal status will reduce the scope for asset manipulation, strengthen accountability in regional financial management, and ensure that every inch of state-owned land is utilized to its fullest potential for the public interest.

Through synergy between the Provincial Government and the Regency/City, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the ATR/BPN, and related stakeholders, land management is expected to become an important foundation in building clean governance, protecting state assets, and creating a more equitable and sustainable development climate.
