The Papua Special Autonomy Policy is a meeting point for a middle ground to strengthen Papuan integration as well as a bridge to pursue peace and build prosperity in the Land of Papua.
Otsus itself is still ongoing according to Law Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for Papua. So far, since being implemented for 20 years, the amount of special autonomy funds for Papua has reached Rp. 126.9 trillion, which is focused mainly on 30% for the education sector and 15% for the health and nutrition sector.
The amount of the Special Autonomy fund shows the commitment of the Government of Indonesia to the development of Papua. Through Otsus, Indigenous Papuans are also required to become regional heads based on 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 Otsus in order to benefit the welfare of the Papuan people of Special Autonomy for Papua and the welfare of indigenous Papuans.
So far, the implementation of Otsus has been encouraging. However, of course there is still room for improvement. If anything is missing, all parties should work together to improve.
President Joko Widodo's special staff, Billy Mambrasar, explained that from a survey with a sample of 500 Papuan millennials, their view is in line that Otsus is a process and needs continuous improvement. For example, the use of the budget that must be improved.
He said, Otsus is a process of building body and soul. Therefore, the good things that have been obtained from Otsus, such as in the education sector which is an investment in human resources, continue to be improved. On the other hand, he agreed that in order to get better it was necessary to listen to the aspirations of the AOP so that Otsus could run better.
Meanwhile, musician Edo Kondologit saw that the Papua problem is currently very complex. Otsus is actually carried out for the purpose of welfare, increasing the standard of living and increasing. Even if there is still an assessment of Otsus' failure, according to him, it is because some parties are also acting too much.
As is said, in one large Indonesian house, there are still some who think that injustice is the main trigger. He encouraged all parties, traditional leaders, competent Papuan political figures to come to sit together to discuss the future of Papua to make it better.
