The Papuan Highlands received special attention from the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb) of the Ministry of Finance of the Papua Province regarding the distribution of village funds.
Head of the Regional Office of DJPb Papua, Burhani, said that there were many things behind it. The existence of an Armed Criminal Group (KKB-ed) base in the area and from a geographical point of view.
"For certain areas (mountains of Papua-ed), especially in the new province of Papua Mountains, so that supervision can be tightened on the release of money from village treasury accounts," said Burhani to Cenderawasih Pos, Thursday (18/8) yesterday.
He continued, even though the money had become their money. But to withdraw it, there must be approval from the district, as in several places outside Papua it has been implemented. So that they are not released to their village officials or village officials.
“There is still a lack of supervision over the distribution of village funds in every district or village in Papua. If the supervision is good, it shouldn't happen like the village head is involved in buying and selling ammunition using village funds," he explained.
Burhani hopes that regional leaders through the relevant OPD in this case DPMK, the District Head can carry out inherent supervision of the use of village funds. Starting from the process of withdrawing money from the village treasury account to using it.
Also, don't just let it go. Teams can be formed at the village level by involving village leaders, or involving cross-sectional teams from both the village and district. “We have had a meeting with our fellow Regional Offices and the head office regarding village fund updates. The government has responded by revising the finance minister's regulation regarding village funds, which will be extended until the end of August," he explained.
Burhani hopes that the Minister's regulation will be issued soon, so that by the end of August his party will still open up opportunities for 19 villages in Nduga Regency that have not been liquidated.
Meanwhile, Burhani continued, specifically for cases that already exist, his party has also coordinated with the center to tighten certain areas in Papua. Especially in mountainous areas, the mechanism for disbursing village funds is from a typical village account to village managers.
"We propose specifically for the Papua Mountains area that the disbursement of village funds in the village treasury account must first obtain approval from the District Head or officials in the sub-district or to the head of the DPMK. So that we can control its use and not miss out on village funds being used to buy ammunition," he explained.
Burhani is also grateful because the person has been arrested who is suspected of seeking personal gain from village funds that should be used for village community empowerment. "It seems that what was taken was for the empowerment of the village community, not for the village BLT," said Burhani.
He continued, the matter of supervising village funds in the form of physical development became the territory of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Especially in the Regional Government, APIP, Regional Inspectorate. "We are concerned if there is misuse of the budget, so we propose tightening the withdrawal of village funds from the bank, not only village fund managers in the village who are given the authority without approval from the district or district. That's what causes them to be more flexible in using their budget because there is no supervision from their superiors," he concluded.
