The idea of the division of Papua Province into a number of New Autonomous Regions (DOB), has now been discussed in several draft laws, namely, the Draft Law (Bill) concerning the Province of South Papua, the Province of Central Papua and the Province of Papua in the Central Mountains.
Meanwhile, Deputy V of the Presidential Staff Office, Jaleswari Pramodawardhani, said the idea of expansion was in line with the president's directives who wanted a leap in prosperity in Papua Province.
"The amendment to the special autonomy law through law number 2 of 2021, outlines various approaches that can encourage these efforts to achieve prosperity," said Jaleswari Pramodawardhani in an online discussion held
Free West Forum 9 (FMB9) with the theme "Regional Expansion for Indigenous Papuans" on Monday, 27 June 2022.
In a release received by POS Kupang, Tuesday, June 28, 2022, the first approach, Jaleswari Pramodawardhani said, was from a quantitative perspective.
Whereas there was an increase in special revenue from the Special Autonomy Fund from the previous 2% to 2.25% of the national general allocation fund.
This includes infrastructure transfer funds and mining revenue sharing funds.
"This emphasizes the politics of the national budget, which is committed to confirming the acceleration of welfare development in Papua," said Jaleswari Pramodawardhani.
The second approach is qualitative. Jaleswari emphasized that the use of Special Autonomy funds was also determined specifically for the minimum presentation of its use in strategic aspects that encourage welfare development.
"For example, from special allocations to improve the welfare of indigenous Papuans, strengthening traditional institutions, spending on education and health," said Jaleswari Pramodawardhani.
Thus, Jaleswari Pramodawardhani, ensures that the allocation of crucial sectors in welfare development is guaranteed and cannot be compromised.
In terms of accountability, Jaleswari Pramodawardhani explained, the use of Otsus funds was also regulated to be used by prioritizing the principles of good financial management through supervision.
This is carried out in a coordinated manner by the Ministries of non-ministerial government institutions, local governments, the House of Representatives, the Regional Representatives Council, the Supreme Audit Agency and State Universities.
This, added Jaleswari Pramodawardhani, prevents misuse of the budget because of the implementation of layered supervision and involving many stakeholders.
According to him, with the three approaches in amending the special law, it is hoped that the president's wish for a leap of progress in Papua is achieved.
"I think that with the three approaches to amending the special law, it is hoped that the president's wish so that the leap of progress in Papua can be achieved and can run parallel to the implementation of Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2020 concerning the acceleration of welfare development in Papua and West Papua Provinces," he added.
New Papua New Guinean New Guinea On the same occasion, Papuan Local Political Observer, Frans Maniagasi
said the New Autonomous Region of Papua had been fought for for a long time.
According to him, historically it can be pulled back in the 1980s.
"There are three things, yes. The first is that this DOB is not new. Historically it has been since the 80s," said Fran.
At that time, Frans said, three deputy governors were formed based on region, namely 1 in the south, one in the middle and the other for the west.
"From the era of Governor Isak Indon to the era of governor Freddy. In the era of Mr. Fredy, Law 45 from 1999 to 2003 was born," he said.
After the 2001 Special Autonomy Law was issued, Frans added, Megawati Soekarnoputri as the president of Indonesia, accelerated the formation of the province of West Irian Jaya or what is now known as the province of West Papua.
"That's what we need to know first. Second, for us, whatever we do in Papua, the interests of the nation must be prioritized for the sake of national integration," he stressed.
