DEPOK (21/05/2026) – The Chairperson of the Depok City Regional House of Representatives, Ade Supriyatna, affirmed the parliament’s commitment to strictly oversee the compensation scheme related to the alleged extortion case in the mass land certification program. This case, which tarnished the Complete Systematic Land Registration program, unfolded at the committee level of Harjamukti Village, Cimanggis District, Depok City.
This parliamentary intervention was triggered by an official report from around 110 Harjamukti residents. They claimed to have paid a sum of money for land certificate processing between 2019 and 2023, but the agrarian documents have yet to be issued.
In response to the crisis, the Depok City Regional House of Representatives Commission A held a closed working meeting with the village committee members at the Harjamukti Village Office on Wednesday (20/05). The meeting venue was deliberately moved downstream to facilitate the mobility of witnesses and invitees.
Commitment to Restitution and Budget Transparency
From the dynamic mediation, the man affectionately called Ades stated that several committee members present signed a written agreement to take full responsibility for the residents’ material losses.
“The result of the meeting was that the committee stated they are ready to take responsibility for fulfilling their obligations and restoring what are the rights of the community. We will provide close oversight so that every single rupiah of the community’s rights is fully returned,” Ades emphasized.
Status of Files at the National Land Agency The Chairperson of the Regional House of Representatives clarified that they deliberately did not involve the Depok City National Land Agency in this meeting. Based on initial investigations, the issue of illegal fund collection occurred purely as internal dynamics at the village committee level, where it was confirmed that the residents’ land documents have not yet been entered or input into the official National Land Agency administrative system. The residents’ application status remains stalled as initial proposals at the lower level.
One Committee Cluster Absent, Residents Encouraged to Report to Police
Despite the good faith shown by some committee members from certain years, the representative of the 2019 period committee was notably absent without explanation from the council’s summons. Assessing the lack of cooperative commitment from the 2019 individuals, Ades encouraged affected residents to immediately take the case to the criminal legal realm.
“The 2019 committee did not attend this official invitation; it seems they lack good commitment. We leave it to the residents; if they wish to pursue formal legal channels (the police), the council certainly allows it,” Ades continued.
Clarification from Former LPM Chairperson and Refund Scheme
At the same location, the former Chairperson of the Harjamukti Village Community Empowerment Institution, Jayadi, who was also examined in the closed meeting, strongly denied any involvement. Jayadi suspected his name was dragged in due to a one-sided statement from a Neighborhood Association Head during a Regional House of Representatives recess forum some time ago.
“I never knew about or was involved in what the committee colleagues did. I never received, let alone requested, a single document or any money from residents regarding this certification program. My presence here today was purely to provide factual clarification,” Jayadi refuted.
Nevertheless, Jayadi confirmed that in the closed forum with Commission A, the committee members indicated to be at fault eventually agreed to return all cash collected, along with stacks of residents’ photocopied documents, in the near future. He hopes the realization of this return will proceed quickly to quell social unrest and restore security and stability within the Harjamukti community.
