PAPUA - Acting Governor of West Papua Paulus Waterpauw inaugurated Dance Sangkek as Acting Regional Secretary (Plt) of West Papua Province in Manokwari, Friday 18 November.

"We have been waiting for a long time and only been approved a few days ago by the Minister of Home Affairs. Dance Sangkek has received approval after going through various considerations from the three names we submitted," said Waterpauw in Manokwari, West Papua, quoted from Antara, Friday, November 18.

The inauguration of the Sangkek Dance is based on the Decree (SK) of the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Number 100.2.1.6/8112/SJ dated November 11, 2022 and the Decree (SK) of the Governor of West Papua Number: 821.2/90/GPB/XI/2022.

Waterpauw hopes that Dance can carry out its duties well until it is definitively elected by the regional secretary.

"I hope that the mandate given can be carried out properly, raise a new spirit in work, and work for the progress and welfare of the people of West Papua," said Waterpauw.

Previously, the West Papua Provincial Government proposed three candidates for the regional secretary since last October, namely Assistant I Robert Rumbekwan, Head of the West Papua Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) Dance Sangkek, and Head of the West Papua Social Service Lasarus Indou.

Sangkek dance replaces Nathaniel Mandacan who has been the regional secretary from 2014 to 2022.
