JAKARTA. Minister of Spatial Planning (ATR)/Head of National Land Agency (BPN) Sofyan Djalil stressed that Law no 2/2012 on Land Provision for Public Utilities Development stipulates the land acquisition process may be accelerated if the project has sufficient budget. Sofjan added that the ministry has several times found that after land acquisition was settled, a project did not run as planned due to budget constraint. During 2016-2019 government has arranged several strategic projects during 2016-2019, including the projects of 24 airports, power plants with a total of 35,000 megawatt (MW) of power, toll roads with a total length of 7.338 kilometer, and railroads. The strategic projects also cover the constructions of 5 million units of houses for low-income people, 12 special economic zones, 15 industrial areas, two oil refineries, and 78 units of gas fuel stations.
