He continued such budget will be used to pay land that affected the development. Payment for some plots is already on consignment or entrusted to the court.

Yusmada added, it does not change the portion of the budget of Bina Marga Dept. Because there are some activities that are not absorbed, then diverted.

"There is no significant change in our total budget. Additional is taken from activities that cannot be absorbed, so diverted. But it does not add to our overall budget," he disclosed.
