MANOKWARI - The Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia (ORI) representing West Papua is pushing for fundamental reforms and changes to governance during the transition period of the leadership of the Acting Governor of West Papua, Paulus Waterpauw.

The head of the ORI West Papua representative, Musa Y Sombuk, said it was time for bureaucratic reform to be carried out to achieve good governance in West Papua Province in real terms, not just a slogan.

"In the hands of the Acting Governor of West Papua, we hope that there will be fundamental reforms and changes to the government administration system, especially regarding institutional (organizational), management and human resources aspects of the apparatus according to the competence of the field of work," said Musa Y Sombuk in Manokwari, Antara, Thursday, June 2nd.

Through bureaucratic reform, regional leaders can restructure the government administration system to be more effective and efficient, considering that bureaucratic reform is the backbone in changing the life of the nation and state.

The Acting Governor of West Papua is expected to be able to restore public confidence in the administration of the West Papua government, which so far has not been transparent and has not been effective in touching the expectations of the general public.

"Hopefully there will be reforms for the realization of good governance with high-integrity, productive, and excellent service personnel in order to increase public trust," said Musa Y Sombuk, the head of the ORI West Papua representative.

Previously, in a separate location, the Acting Governor of West Papua Paulus Waterpauw directed regional officials and West Papuan government employees to work professionally, prioritizing the interests of the community in their duties and services.

"Leave old habits, provide the best service to the community through the duties and responsibilities assigned by the state. Make sure the community is not complicated in various public affairs," said Waterpauw in his inaugural apple ceremony at the West Papua Governor's office yard recently.
