Realizing President Joko Widodo's agrarian reformation vision through policy strengthening is not enough, Moeldoko asserted at the 'Road to Wakatobi' virtual event, according to a written statement received here on Wednesday.
Ministries and government institutions should also encourage and ensure that the policy has an impact on the people, he said.
The redistribution of disputed agrarian land to the people has only reached 26.67 percent of the targeted 4.5 million hectares of disputed land, he noted.
The low figure can be attributed to less-than-optimal effort in land distribution for agrarian reform, he added.
"We have a hard time listening to people's complaints. It is the state's duty to listen to the complaint and to figure out the solution," Moeldoko remarked.

He pointed out that the government has received 1.191 agrarian dispute cases through the KSP thus far.
In 2021, the government is aiming to expedite the resolution of 137 agrarian disputes, which comprise 105 cases in forest regions and 32 in non-forest regions, he informed.
Moeldoko said he has signed the Decision Letter No. 1B/T/2021 regarding the Formation of Agrarian Conflict Resolution Acceleration Team and the Strengthening of Agrarian Reformation Policy 2021, that consists of several ministry and institution representatives, the army and the police, and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) activists.
At the same discussion, Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/head of the National Land Agency (BPN), Sofyan Djalil, emphasized that agrarian conflict resolution should not end up harming local citizens and indigenous people, and only benefiting entrepreneurs, the KSP release said.
