PAPUA - Kaimana Regent, Freddy Thie revealed that there are teachers and health workers (nakes) in the West Papua Etna Bay District who are often absent from work and often leave their places of duty.

"I received reports and complaints from the public both in the field of education and health because there are still teachers and health workers who leave their place of duty," he said in Kaimana, Wednesday, December 14.

This was known by Freddy from reports from residents when holding a 'Christmas safari' in Etna Bay District on Tuesday, December 13.

Freddy said that iyu's behavior is not exemplary in the midst of the fact that a number of villages in Kaimana Regency still lacks teachers and health workers.

He admitted that the public's complaint was responded to by ordering the Regional Secretary (Sekda) Kaimana Donald R Wakum to immediately follow up.

Freddy said that apparatus deemed to have neglected their duties and obligations were given strict sanctions ranging from warnings in the form of verbal and written warnings, salary detention and even dismissal.

"I immediately conveyed to the Regional Secretary, take note of all the names of teachers and health workers who are not responsible. After this there must be a warning letter. But if it is still stubborn, we will take firm action by holding salaries or being dismissed," said Freddy.

Furthermore, Freddy explained that the Kaimana Regent's 'Christmas Safari' activities to a number of districts were also used by residents who did not have a Population Identification Number (NIK) by recording electronic identity cards or e-KTPs.

"Incidentally, I also brought Dukcapil officers to record ID cards directly in the village. This is important for BPJS Health data needs so that in the future all people will get health services for free," he said.

Several villages were targeted by the Kaimana Regency Government's Christmas Safari activities in the Etna Bay District, namely Kampung Omba Nariki, Kiruru, Lakahia, Kamak, Lumira and Lobo.
