The government has given a signal to continue the special autonomy of Papua. The Papuan people are also looking forward to the continuation of the Special Autonomy because it is believed to be able to improve the welfare of the Papuan people.
The Papua Special Autonomy Policy (Otsus) is arguably a meeting point or a middle way which aims at strengthening Papuan integration as well as a bridge to pursue peace and build prosperity in the Land of Papua.
Otsus itself is currently still ongoing in accordance with law number 21 of 2001 on Papua's special autonomy. So far, since it has been implemented for 20 years, the amount of Special Autonomy funds for Papua has reached Rp. 126.9 trillion, which is focused mainly on 30 percent for the education sector and 15 percent for the health and nutrition sector. The amount of the Special Autonomy fund shows the commitment of the Indonesian government to the development of Papua.
Through Otsus, the requirements to become regional heads must be native Papuans, this has been stated in article 12 of Law 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for Papua Province, the Governor and Deputy Governor must be indigenous Papuans (OAP).
It cannot be denied that there are strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of Otsus. What Papua and West Papua need in the future is to increase the accountability and transparency of special autonomy in order to provide welfare benefits for the people of Papua and West Papua.
Otsus Papua volume 2 must be realized, this is because the special autonomy policy is a concrete effort by the government in developing Indonesia from outside. The existence of this policy is also beneficial for Papuan children who want to continue their education, with the special autonomy funds, many Papuan children are helped to be able to continue their schooling and even go to college.
