Member of Commission II of the DPR, Viva Yoga Mauladi, stated that he agreed with the plan to expand Papua into five provinces, as conveyed by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD.
According to the politician from the National Mandate Party (PAN), through expansion, Papua is expected to enjoy economic growth in addition to improving the Human Development Index (HDI). Thus, he said, there was no imbalance in welfare and human resources with other provinces, especially with the progress of education.
"I agree with the plan with the aim of developing the economy and human resources by advancing education, for example," said Viva Yoga when contacted by JIBI / Bisnis by telephone, Friday (11/9/2020).
He added that the most important thing in carrying out the pemekaran was to still refer to the existing law as the legal umbrella.
LIPI researcher Siti Zuhro stated that after Papua and West Papua Provinces, it was possible for Papua to be divided into three additional provinces to become five provinces. The next three provinces are Southwest Papua, South Papua and Central Papua.
However, Siti Zuhro reminded that the division of the three provinces provided that Papua had to build a bureaucracy or prepare competent human resources and prepare reliable regional economic potential.
"There are already many districts / cities in Indonesia, namely 542. If you want expansion, there must be improvements and preparation of local human resources [bureaucrats] first, regional economic potential and adequate population," said Siti Zuhro.
For the formation of the New Autonomous Region (DOB), said Siti Zuhro, the readiness of local human resources [bureaucracy] is an absolute must. Adequate and competent human resources are needed to run the government bureaucracy effectively, efficiently and professionally.
