According to her, the land buying process is still running. The negotiation process has entered for 57 land lots as much as Rp 1.5 trillion. Other 14 lands also entering negotiation phase, but await for governor letter.

"We already prepared Rp 460 billion for those 14 land lots. The payment awaits the governor letter," she added.

The letter for land buying has been issued for 41 locations with total budget Rp 881 billion. Of 41 locations, 11 locations have been paid Rp 203 million, 4 locations are canceled with total budget Rp 319 billion.
