Not In Line With Agrarian Reform, Prabowo's Jokowi's Infrastructure Criticism

PojokWarta. Infrastructure development is considered to be one of the successes of the shells campaigned by presidential candidate Jokowi-Ma'ruf in the 2019 Presidential Election. However, infrastructure needs are considered not the main thing for the Prabowo-Sandiaga camp.

Gerindra politician, Kardaya Warnika admitted that infrastructure is indeed a very important part of the progress of the nation and state. However, it is included in the long-term priority, not forced.

"The infrastructure is long-term. It must be balanced between the long and the short term. The short term must be considered economically. If the economy is down, don't think too much about infrastructure," said Kardaya when attending the Infrastructure-themed Prabowo-Password discussion Jokowi Era: Effective , Wrong target or corrupt? ' in Menteng, Jakarta, Thursday.

Kardaya gave an example, China and Malaysia are countries that are boosting infrastructure. However, the economic conditions of the two countries are considered to be good.

While Indonesia, he said, was not in good condition. But the government forced to build infrastructure at a cost of debt.

"Malaysia when the economy grows 8 percent. Now it is like Indonesia, even though some say our economy is good, but there must be criteria. Our economy is now below the Asian average. There is Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan. Where's the good? "Public figures. In ASEAN we are number two from the lowest," Kardaya explained again.

In this discussion, there was also a speaker, Director of the Center for Budget Analysis (CBA) Uchok Sky Gaddafi, Secretary General of the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (KPA) Dewi Kartika and Executive Director of Indonesian Resources Studies (Iress) Marwan Batubara.

Infrastructure Reduces Farmer Classes

KPA Secretary General Dewi Kartika revealed a number of issues regarding infrastructure development which were considered to be numerous in violations and seemed very forced.

He explained, infrastructure development is a logical consequence of demanding land acquisition on a large scale. Because it is hungry for land, and the lands that are used as objects of infrastructure development are rural and urban areas, then the impact is small communities below.

"KPA notes the infrastructure development sector is the biggest cause of agrarian conflict. The link with land acquisition is very correlated with infrastructure development. We noted that in 2015, the infrastructure sector was the number 2 agrarian conflict, 2016 number 3 with 100 conflicts, 2017, the infrastructure sector contributed the highest conflict number 3 with 94 cases, "explained Dewi again.

In terms of violence, he continued, the procurement of land for infrastructure was closely tied to violence in the form of criminalization and intimidation. In 2015 278 cases of violence in all sectors, 2016 criminalized farmers, there were 177 cases. In 2017 there were 369 mainly criminalized farmers, for maintaining land rights. So it is very closely related to land acquisition for infrastructure with agrarian conflict.

"It is said that Jokowi is carrying out agrarian reform, the goal is to improve the imbalance of agrarian structures. KPA is consistent with this country must carry out agarial reform. Unfortunately, infrastructure development also contributes to the increasingly severe inequality of agrarian structures. Goddess.

Dewi explained more deeply, the census carried out from 2003-2013, recorded 5.9 million hectares from the agricultural sector to non-agricultural. Per year 100-110 thousand hectares of land change from land functions.

The Ministry of Industry released until 2019, infrastructure needs require 133 thousand hectares of land. Moreover, President Jokowi has issued Perpres 56/2018 concerning the acceleration of the national strategic project. It is feared that this will aggravate the inequality of the agaria structure.

"This means that infrastructure development contributes to reducing farmer classes. It is conceivable that in the next 10 years the agricultural census will be carried out, the number of displaced farmer households," Dewi criticized.
