Katimun (55) never despite the hope to live better that he is neat fertilizer in memory ten years more then can mine without certainty to date.
The hope that he brought from Lumajang Regency, East Java to Kerinci Regency, Jambi in 2009 ago through the transmigration program is still far roasted from the fire.
The government’s promises to provide a certified land assistance for approximately 0.25 hectares, an area of hectares, and an area of ??0.75 hectares to each of the transmigran family has not been fully beaten. Even, after ten years more.

At that time, he and the family are placed in one of the houses that have been attached to the number and is indicated by land (for businesses). However, the appointment is not accompanied by a proprietary certificate. As a result, after a few months were processed, the land was forced by another oknum of citizens who claimed the owner.
"The thing is still forest, dense and full bush. We are garap, tidy and tanami. It is neat, taken," he said. Katimun says. However, he does not want to conflict.
Setali three money with it, other transmigran Kaspani (64) also admitted to similar treatment. The appointment of the government that he was garaped forced by the occun of citizens (from the outside of the transmigran).

Today, from about 65 KK transmigran (asal Lumajang, Madiun, Sumedang, and Yogyakarta) in the program of the Kerinci transmigration period of 2009 until 2011, living about 20s KK alone who still survive.
There is no certainty of land ownership into the main reason why more than half KK transmigran returned to their home area. In addition, almost the absence of telecomuniation networks and the absence of officers in the region several years after the course of the program also encourages transmigran to dissolve the fate.
