JAKARTA - Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi said that the assignment of Vice President (Wapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka to lead the acceleration of Papua's development does not mean that the Vice President must have an office in Papua.
He explained that this was a mandate from the Papua Special Autonomy Law which regulates the acceleration of Papua's development being led or chaired by the Vice President. So, he also straightened out that the assignment did not come from President Prabowo Subianto.
"But if in the context maybe he occasionally holds coordination meetings, he will visit there or maybe even have an office there, there is no problem either," said Prasetyo after a budget meeting with Commission XIII DPR RI at the parliament complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 9, which was confiscated by Antara.
According to him, the Papuan Development Acceleration Team was facilitated by the state. In this case, the team will use the Jayapura KPKN Office as its operational office.
The derivative of the acceleration team, he said, was a kind of agency or task force for daily operations in the field.
So, he said, the party that will more often have offices in Papua is the agency or task force.
He also considered that there was no need for further problems, because the development of Papua was an obligation for the government.
Moreover, he said, the Vice President has the capacity to carry out development.
So, he said, there would be nothing wrong if the President, Vice President, related ministers, and members of the DPR visited Papua.
"If necessary, you have to visit there often," he said.
