The expansion of Papua will increase the effectiveness of the bureaucracy and accelerate development in Papua. The division of Papua will make Papua into five provinces, from the previous two.
Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian in his press statement said that the expansion of Papua would accelerate development because it would increase the effectiveness of the bureaucracy. With a short bureaucratic reform, decision-making will be faster and make public services even better.
The Minister of Home Affairs added that the geographical condition of Papua is very wide, the terrain is tough, and the high distribution of people will make it difficult for the people's activities there. The expansion of Papua is one solution to accelerate development in Papua.
Regional expansion is essentially a way or approach to accelerate regional development acceleration. The newly formed autonomous region is an entity as a geographical, political, economic, social and cultural unit.
Previously, Indonesia had successfully carried out regional expansion. Southern Sumatra, which previously consisted of one province, was divided into several provinces, namely Jambi, Bengkulu, Lampung, and Bangka Belitung. Then Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and Central Sulawesi, which after being divided saw rapid progress in development, and their economy. Even Central Sulawesi is 1 of 4 regions whose economic growth remains positive during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Pemekaran is not something new in Papua. In 2008 Papua was divided into two provinces, giving birth to West Papua. This has a positive impact by increasing the Human Development Index (HDI) and helping to open up previously isolated areas such as Tambrauw, Wasior, to South Sorong.
The division in Papua will now make Papua into five provinces. The new provinces that will be born later are Central Papua, South Papua, and Papua Central Mountains. The formation of a new province in Papua has the full support of many elements in Papua consisting of local governments, religious leaders, traditional leaders, youth leaders, academics, to the Papuan community.
An intellectual figure in Mimika Regency, the indigenous Amungme tribe, Yohanes Kemong explained that the expansion in Papua was able to accelerate development in the area to remote areas. According to him, this expansion makes local people feel part of the "home" of the Republic of Indonesia, and not just on the "terrace". Yohanes added that the presence of this new province will encourage the Papuan people to think about translating Pancasila in the context of the Papuan traditional territory as a virtue.
The division of territory in Papua is being discussed in 3 new autonomous regions bills by Commission II of the DPR. It is planned that this bill will be brought to the plenary session of the DPR to be passed into law on Thursday 30 June 2022. Hopefully the ratification of the bill on Papua New Guinea can run smoothly. Because with the expansion, there will be an acceleration of development in Papua. With the expansion of Papua, let's welcome a prosperous, advanced and prosperous Papua.
