Special autonomy, which has been running since 2001, has made Papua more developed. Not only in terms of infrastructure, but also education and several other fields. This development is very good, because it makes there is no inequality of progress between eastern and western Indonesia. So that there is an even distribution of development and community intelligence.
Special autonomy in Papua lasts for 20 years, and in 2021 it will begin its extension with the same duration. The existence of Otsus volume 2 is highly anticipated by the people of Bumi Cendrawasih, because the funds can be used for development in various sectors, ranging from the economy to religion. The Special Autonomy Fund volume 2 is certain to increase, due to inflation and rising prices of goods.
West Papua Governor Dominggus Mandacan stated that the special autonomy fund was running effectively. Volume 2 of the Special Autonomy Fund is budgeted at more than 5 trillion rupiah. This amount of money in addition to development in Papua, also includes financing the XX national sports week (PON) which will be held in Bumi Cendrawasih at the end of 2021.
Why is the Special Autonomy Volume 2 budget budgeted for this much? First, 5 trillion is not only for 1 year but for 20 years. So it is reasonable if the nominal is quite high. Second, the price of building materials to make public facilities in Papua is relatively more expensive than in Java. Third, there is inflation which causes the prices of supporting goods to be higher.
Dominggus hopes that in volume 2 of Otsus there will be an evaluation, so that indigenous Papuans will be given more authority, both for natural resources and human resources. So far, special autonomy funds have also been channeled for scholarships, so that Papuan children can go to school and even study at home and abroad. It is hoped that these qualified human resources can be channeled to the relevant Ministries.
These quality human resources can also be prepared to become candidates for Papuan leaders. Because in special autonomy it is regulated that only OAP (indigenous Papuans) are allowed to become Governor and Deputy Governor of Papua. Such as Lukas Enembe Governor of Papua) and Dominggus Mandacan (Governor of West Papua). Unlike in the past which was held by an outsider (usually retired).
When the governor and his deputy are Papuan natives, the Earth of Cendrawasih will continue to grow. The reason is because they better understand what facilities are needed by the Papuan people. It can also take a cultural and social approach, so that development with Otsus funds runs more smoothly. Because the people are more obedient to someone who is considered an elder and has ethnic similarities.
In addition, Otsus funds are also channeled to the health sector, to build Puskesmas and hospitals to remote areas. So that people do not have to go to Jayapura or Manokwari for treatment at large hospitals. Because in their area there is a representative health service. Funds are also used for the eradication of malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS.
Special autonomy is expected to bring progress to the provinces of Papua and West Papua, so that the people of Earth of Cendrawasih are more advanced and no longer left behind by those in Java. They are not identical with backwardness, because they can advance through education, with special autonomy scholarships. Papuan children have the same opportunity to go to college and get much better jobs.
People in Papua strongly support the extension of Otsus, because their area can develop more rapidly, thanks to a lot of infrastructure development. In addition, the Special Autonomy funds are also intended for the health sector, so that the community is healthier and reduces the mortality rate due to the distance to qualified health facilities.
