Claims Society in the case of Lapindo
Mud and Legal Problems

Lapindo hot mud spurt in the first Siring village, Porong Subdistrict, Sidoarjo regency of East Java on Monday 29 May 2006 at around 06.00. Spot spraying is located about 100 meters west Well Banjar Panji 1 owned by PT Lapindo Brantas. In a calligrapher (Kompas published in the Wednesday 6 September 2006) Eep Saefulloh Fatah stated that: while researchers from the University of Airlangga, Dr. Suparto Wijoyo, that Lapindo Brantas has been violation of the law dozen industry, konserasi, environment, roads, traffic, oil and gas, spatial, mining, agrarian, health, water resources, even terrorism. In another paper, Fredrik J. Pinakunary stated that the use of the Law No. 23 of 1997 on Environmental Management (Law PLH) is not appropriate. System of criminal responsibility that requires the public or omission of the day is not very profitable for many people who have become victims mud.


Pinakunary According to the criminal responsibility of the system only requires absolute knowledge and acts of the accused. This means that the act is the defendant knows or is aware of the potential losses for other parties, the situation is enough for the demands of the criminal pertangungjawaban: "Kongkretnya not need to be proven whether Lapindo has the elements of negligent or accidental, but the drilling activities that ultimately cause the mud flood damage the environment is sufficient to penalize the company "(hal.219). In this case, the judges function as a 'living interpretator' that can capture the spirit of community justice. Pinakunary cite Thohari in his writings in the Kompas some time before, stated that law enforcement is not just important, but enforcement was made (p. 220).

Mud and the Weak Governance

At the beginning of the disaster the government behave very slow. No disaster management coordination between the central and local governments. Saefulloh Fatah stated that the problem of mud in the face of this government is very weak and not able to deal with both. "During the almost two years of work, the government Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) - Muhammad Jusuf Kalla (JK) as the government is good and correct, but failed to prove they are strong." (P. 191). According to Saefulloh Fatah cases involving the mud is a contradiction various interests, also has interests pertumbukan internal governance. This means that the interest to take reasonable steps in, firmly, quickly and comprehensively dealing with the interest of saving themselves from the possibility liable in the political and legal. However, the problem is the Bakrie group should be responsible financially in very large scale. However, tire
respect the halt the Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare will have a firmness and strength to take the necessary policies. Truly wretched if confidence, firmness and courage of President and Vice President any doubt (p. 192).

In the end date of 24 June 2007 screaming victims receive envoy mud in Cikeas Bogor. The victims describe macetnya compensation payment according the Government's decision. Found that the regulations do not traveled with the president is correct, eventually SBY is decided over three days in Sidoarjo. Of course, this attitude should be the President diapresiasi as a strength of the President to defend the victim. Emha Ainun Najib said that when he was writing the epilog on 18 September 2008, the number of victims who paid 20 percent advance in accordance with the Education Yes. 14 news events of 9463 a total area of land and buildings. This means more than 94 percent of the amount of the victim's family has received advance payment of 20 percent - not much different from the agreed deadlines Education. The remaining 80 percent of the amount that must be paid by Lapindo should be paid at the latest in May 2008. Currently, after more than 2 years and the disaster happened, and exactly one year after
This book was published, we hope matters indemnity payment money has been finished completely.

Conclusion: as the Public Access Control

However, based on data from the official site Lapindo victims, Chairman of the Ad Hoc team of human rights violations Lapindo mud, Syafrudin Ngulma Simeulue said there has been no development means that after the signing of the agreement with the victims of Lapindo and the government on Aug. 29. Even as news of the Jakarta Post quoted the site, up to the Idul Fitri and new, Lapindo victims of the refugees still have not received clarity when the remaining compensation will be paid 80 percent. One refugee, Muhayatin (38) who were interviewed stated that he has received 20 percent down payment of 42 million rupiah 2 years ago. However, the money is already out for the day-to-day needs. Meanwhile, according to the Head of Public Relations BPLS (Lumpur Sidoarjo Management Agency) Ahmad Teorima, payment of the remaining 80 percent will be slow to most dituntaskan later in 2010. From the description of the last victims of Lapindo above, the scheme of payment per 20:80
cents a clearly defined government does not benefit the victims Lumpur Lapindo to set up their lives again.

Similarly, prevention efforts are not luberan mud could be. Discard the mud to the sea via rivers or Scone with piped disposal, have various problems that must be dituntaskan. Some time ago the residents of villages into exile rejected the Porong river of mud that resulted pendangkalan at risk of river and cause flooding when the rainy season.

This book is a collection of coverage, writing or opinions, and the Title Plan which was published in Kompas daily between 2006 and 2007 about Lumpur Lapindo and the efforts of handling. This book is full enough with the results of the data writing Kompas journalists and observers. Reading the books again this year after issuance, as if to invite us to check and recheck the top of the mud disaster penuntasan this problem. Unfortunately the government did not create a system where the public can have broad access to monitor each time the efforts penuntasan disaster problems. Monitoring by the public can ensure and protect the victims to be treated fairly. This becomes important in the current system of capitalism media, large corporations easier to control public opinion. Often, the interests of large corporations more easily expressed by the mass media, compared to the interests of small people.

Publishing books about the disaster mud can be a means of monitoring system of disaster management. Indeed, the monitoring system will be far more effective and efficient use media website. However, any publication of this book is still useful. This book also features a graphic showing very interesting, although black-white, not as original in the newspaper. Caricature works Jitet Koestana used on the front cover of this book is very interesting. However, this book covers the face can be processed more that can represent how the size of the problem is Lapindo mud disaster.
