The establishment of new autonomous regions (DOB) in Papua will improve the welfare of the local indigenous people. Therefore, the expansion step should have the support of all Indonesian citizens.
This is the aspiration of the people who are members of the Papua Rising Observer Alliance. The group also urged the government to immediately complete the process of forming the new province.
"Papua is part of the territorial integration of the Republic of Indonesia, so the process of equitable development in Papua is a priority for accelerating the development of the central government to answer the needs and demands of the Papuan people," said the alliance coordinator, Deksa.
He said the new autonomous regions were the answer to various demands of the Papuan people, such as the development of education, health and economic infrastructure.
All of this will be enjoyed by the Papuan people more broadly and equitably if the expansion is realized.
The Alliance also strongly condemns all parties who oppose the formation of a new province in Papua. The reason, said Deska, is that they deserve to be considered as a barrier to indigenous Papuans (OAP) from enjoying prosperity.
"The expansion bill has been discussed in the DPR by involving elements of the community and academics, so there is no reason to accuse the government of issuing unilateral policies," he continued.
They also conveyed this aspiration in a peaceful demonstration in front of the Ministry of Home Affairs office on Friday (13/5). At that time, the mass of 40 people took turns giving speeches.
One of the orators said that Papua has a very large area, so it is impossible to only be controlled by one regional government.
"For this reason, it is necessary to expand so that the span of control of public services is closer to the Papuan people," said the orator.
He also confirmed that the OAP wanted a new province in Papua. Therefore, the government should not hesitate to execute the plan.
"Don't let the Papuan people be used as a shield for the power of the Papuan elite who want to block the expansion for personal gain," he hoped.
