The Papua special autonomy policy (Otsus) is proof of the government's seriousness in improving the welfare of the people on Earth of Cenderawasih.
Chairman of the Jabodetabek Bintuni Student Association, Malkin Kosepa, said that the government has guaranteed that the special autonomy is not lost, it is only evaluating improvements, so that the people of Papua and West Papua will really feel it.
"Right now, Otsus is being evaluated again, not ending, as long as the law is not revoked, it will continue to be canceled. It is given special authority by the state, but its implementation needs to be thoroughly evaluated," said Malkin.
The government has given the Papua Special Autonomy Law (UU) through Law No. 21/2001 and West Papua Special Autonomy through Law No. 35/2008. The law was made to accelerate and catch up with development from other regions.
"The spirit or spirit of determining the status of otsus is giving the widest possible authority to local governments to formulate, compile, and design development strategies needed by the Papuan people so that their rights are protected," said Malkin.
Papuan academic, Ujang Rahmat Mokan, said that now is the right time to conduct an evaluation of special autonomy to make it better in the future. Community groups need to sit together so that what is mandated by the state has a positive impact from the economic and welfare side. Even if there is a refusal, it is considered normal, because the implementation of the special autonomy system still needs improvement.
"We hope that there will be a comprehensive evaluation from the provincial government because the special autonomy policy funds are managed by the provincial government. From there it can be seen whether it was executed, carried out, with the right target. Do not let the egos appear of each so that communication between the district and provincial governments does not run smoothly. both in the end hinder the implementation of Otsus. This needs to be corrected in the future, "said Mokan.
Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the National Papuan Student Alliance (AMP), Rajid Patiran, assessed that if the Special Autonomy still has problems, then refendum issues should not arise. In fact, now the most important thing is to build the welfare of the Papuan people.
"Therefore, the special autonomy fund and development in Papua and West Papua must harmonize human resource development and physical and infrastructure development," he said.
According to Rajid, special autonomy indeed needs to be evaluated so that policies at the provincial to district level can be uniform because there is often dualism. "So, the budget cannot be executed at the district level. This happens because districts often do not have access to the special autonomy policy," said Rajid.
