JAKARTA - Chairman of the House of Representatives Commission II Ahmad Doli Kurnia said there would be special discussions between the parliament, especially Commission II and the government regarding the urgency of revising the Election Law or issuing a Perppu regarding the expansion of new autonomous regions (DOB).

"There will be special discussions between the Government and the DPR, especially Commission II. Who will take the revision regarding the initiative. Second, will it take the form of a revision or a Perppu is enough," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 29.

In the three Papua New Guinea Laws, he said, there must be consequences regarding the addition of a new province and later there will be representation from the area.

"Later, of course, there will be additional members of the DPR because previously Papua only had one electoral district (electoral area), if later it became four provinces there would be at least four electoral districts," he said.

This, according to Doli Kurnia, will of course also change the number of DPR members and the number of representations for DPD members.

"This will also change the number of DPD members, each province has four, now they are represented by four people, if the province is divided it will be 16," said Doli.

Commission II plans that the Bill on the Bill on the Provinces of Central Papua, South Papua Province, and the Bill on the Province of the Central Mountains can be finalized before 30 June.

"God willing, yesterday we made a decision making level I, we have continued to ask for the request for the Plenary Meeting (DPR) to be scheduled to be ratified into law," said Doli.
