Indigenous Peoples Support Papua's Special Autonomy



The extension of special autonomy in Papua is very much supported by the indigenous people in Bumi Cendrawasih. As indigenous people, they have already benefited from the Special Autonomy Volume 1 and Papua has become more advanced.

Special autonomy in Papua, which will be extended in 2021, received a very good reception from the indigenous Papuan people. Several community leaders representing the original residents of Bumi Cendrawasih, expressed their support if this program was to be continued, for the next 20 years. Because it has been seen that the progress of Papua is complete in terms of infrastructure.

The Jayawijaya Indigenous Peoples Organization stated that they are very pro if the special autonomy is extended. This was raised after a meeting with traditional community leaders in Jayawijaya Regency. They come from 40 districts there.

According to Karlos Huby, Chair of the Papuan Indigenous Peoples, they are united in supporting the existence of special autonomy in Papua. But with a few conditions. First, the central government must carry out strict supervision so that there is no misappropriation of funds. Meanwhile, the second, the special autonomy funds must be right on target and given to the lower classes.

Yanto Eluay, a leader of the Tabi indigenous people, stated that the people in Sarireri and Tabi are quite supportive of special autonomy in Papua. But he is in line with Karlos Huby. There is a need for further review from the center.

The problems in Papua are quite complex. Therefore, special autonomy is not only given to build buildings. However, there is also a budget for health, education, and others.

The support from the indigenous people is very helpful for the government. Because the traditional leaders urge their citizens to support special autonomy and its extension. They are aware that special autonomy funds are urgently needed to advance Papua.

Special autonomy evaluation is mandatory. If there are rogue officials, they must be dismissed immediately. The use of special autonomy funds must also be precise. If necessary, disclose the books to the public, so that they believe that the money is channeled to the right party.
