Papua Governor Lukas Enembe has announced his refusal toward two
autonomous region proposals from South and Central Papua. Lukas reasoned that
the proposals were not properly mulled and violated existing procedure needed
to be taken.
“There are procedures that need to be taken in order to be able to
propose an autonomous region and it can’t just be done to satisfy the interest
of certain groups,” he said on Tuesday.
The statement was issued at the same time as the House of
Representatives statement, mulling over 65 autonomous region proposals
throughout the country, including three new provinces in Papua.
The same proposals were also rejected by previous Papua governor
Barnabas Suebu.
According to Papua Special Autonomy Law no.21/2001, an autonomous region
proposal should be approved by the Papua People Council (MRP), the Papua
Provincial Council (DPRD) and the governor before it is proposed to the House
of Representatives.
Echoing a similar view, Reverend John Jonga, a Yap Thiam Hien award
recipient, said the province should be focused on improving and expanding
service to its people so the welfare could be well distributed.
“We don’t have good precedents on autonomous regions up to this date.
The number of poor people is still high even when the region gets the
opportunity to manage itself,” he said.(dic)
