Because of the Mineral and Coal Law, 70 Percent of Building Materials Come from Illegal Mines

The Mineral and Coal Law (UU Minerba) invites views from various circles of society. In fact, after the approval of the Minerba Law on May 12, 2020, the Indonesian House of Representatives invited the emergence of illegal mining.

Executive Director of the Center of Energy and Resources Indonesia (CERI) Yusri Usman said, after the approval of Law Number 3 of 2020, many materials used for infrastructure development came from illegal mining. "It is almost certain that since the Minerba Law number 3 of 2020 was approved by the Indonesian House of Representatives on May 12, 2020, up to now, around 70 percent of building materials in the form of sand and stone and backfill for the needs of government and private infrastructure physical development projects come from land mining. illegal,” He suspects that the rampant illegal mining is due to the great need for national strategic project (PSN) activities. However, this has not been controlled by the ease of obtaining permits due to existing regulations, so, he said, it is prone to become a source of money from unscrupulous law enforcement officers. "The illegal materials are supplied and used for the needs of toll road construction, dam projects, office buildings, residential area development, sea and air ports and others, including being used for oil and gas operations, namely backfill for the needs of drill sites (well pads). " he explained.
