JAKARTA - Member of the Advisory Council for the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar-Mahfud, Zannuba Ariffah Chafsoh or Yenny Wahid said the pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates number 3 put forward a participatory dialogue regarding Papua.

"What is clear is that in the future the government, we hope that there will be more dialogue and participants," said Yenny Wahid as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 28.

Yenny explained that the circle of violence that occurred in Papua could only be cut off when there was an approach that was embracing and not hitting.

According to Yenny, this approach is like inviting people to have a dialogue together for the good of all.

"Well, Pak Ganjar earlier, as we witnessed in the inaugural campaign that was carried out, was to emphasize the welfare aspect," explained the daughter of the 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Duritu.

He explained that the emphasis on the welfare aspect included wanting to build health centers and health posts.

According to Yenny, the lack of health infrastructure is the most basic problem faced by people in coastal or remote areas of Papua.

"I myself often go to Papua and we both know that access to health posts, to health services, is still minimal. This is the main focus of Ganjar-Mahfud," said Yenny Wahid.
