Surat Palsu Penunjukan Plt Kadis Pertanian Mamberamo Raya Beredar di Grup Whatsapp

Pemerintah Provinsi Papua memastikan surat penunjukkan Alpius Matemtai sebagai Plt. Kepala Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Kabupaten Mamberamo Raya, sebagaimana yang beredar di grup whatsapp wilayah setempat adalah palsu.

Hal itu dipastikan Kepala Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika Papua Jeri A. Yudianto, Kamis (15/10/2020), di Jayapura.

Dia jelaskan, penunjukkan Alpius Matemtai yang saat ini menjabat Sekretaris Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Kabupaten Mamberamo Raya, mestinya merupakan wewenang pimpinan daerah setempat.

Sehingga Gubernur Papua tidak mungkin mengintervensi penunjukan itu, sebab merupakan ranah bupati setempat.

“Surat Gubernur Papua Nomor 129/16910/SET tertanggal 31 Agustus 2020 itu palsu. Hal ini sudah saya konfirmasi dengan Asisten Bidang Umum Sekda Papua dan Kepala BKD Papua”.

“Dari segi kewenangan Pemprov Papua dalam urusan manajemen kepegawaian tidak ada kewenangan sampai kesitu. Jadi surat tersebut patut diragukan keasliannya,” terang dia.

Jery menyarankan jika ada pihak yang merasa dirugikan untuk dapat memverifikasi hal itu langsung ke Pemprov Papua. Termasuk melakukan upaya hukum.

“Tapi hal itu kan kembali lagi ke pihak yang merasa dirugikan. Sebab untuk apa surat itu disebarkan? Lalu ada tujuan dan kepentingan apa kan kita tidak tahu, tapi yang pasti surat itu bukan dari Pemprov Papua,” tegasnya.

Sebelumnya beredar surat palsu gubernur terkait penunjukkan Plt Kepala Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Mamberamo Raya.

Meski sudah viral, belum ada tanggapan resmi dari Pemda Kabupaten Mamberamo Raya terkait surat palsu tersebut.

The Papua Provincial Government confirmed Alpius Matemtai appointment as the Head of the Agriculture and Food Security Office of Mamberamo Raya Regency, as circulated in the local Whatsapp group is false.

This was confirmed by the Head of Communication and Informatics Office Jeri A. Yudianto, Thursday (15/10/2020), in Jayapura.

He explained the appointment of Alpius Matemtai who is currently secretary of Agriculture and Food Security Department of Mamberamo Raya Regency, should be the authority of the local leadership.

So the Governor of Papua is unlikely to intervene in the appointment, as it is the domain of the local regent.

"The Letter of the Governor of Papua Number 129/16910/SET dated August 31, 2020 is false. This has been confirmed by the Assistant General Field of the Secretary of Papua and the Head of Regional Employment Agency (BKD) of Papua".

"In terms of the authority of the Papuan Provincial Government in the management of staffing there is no authority up there. So the letter deserves to be questioned for its authenticity," he explained.

Jery advises if any party feels harmed to be able to verify it directly to the Papua Provincial Government, including making legal efforts.

"But it returns to the party who feels aggrieved. Because what was the letter distributed for? Then there are goals and interests, right? We don't know, but what is certain is that the letter was not from the Papua Provincial Government," he said.

Previously, a fake letter from the governor was circulated regarding the appointment of the Acting Head of the Mamberamo Raya Agriculture and Food Security Service.

Although it has gone viral, there has been no official response from the Local Government of Mamberamo Raya regarding the fake letter.
