Wagub Klemen Minta SKPD Terkait Bantu Tangani Banjir Keerom

Wakil Gubernur Papua Klemen Tinal menginstruksikan instansi terkait untuk segera turun membantu menangani masalah banjir yang terjadi di Kabupaten Keerom, akibat curah hujan yang tinggi akhir-akhir ini.

Hal tersebut disampaikan Wagub Klemen kepada pers, usai menyerahkan Dokumen Pelaksanaan Anggaran (DPA) – Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah (SKDP) Pemprov Papua 2021, di Jayapura, Kamis (11/2/2021).

“Bencana banjir di Keerom sebenarnya tanggung jawab kabupaten setempat. Tapi karena dekat dengan provinsi, kita akan bantu. Yang paling penting saat ini Kadis PU dan lainnya harus melihat apa penyebab banjir”. 

“Apakah karena irigasi terbuka atau hutan dieksploitasi dan lainnya. Kalau hutan dieksploitasi maka orang yang curi kayu ditertibkan, kasihan para petani merugi karena tanamannya terendam banjir,” ucap ia. 

Wagub dalam kesempatan itu meminta Pemerintah Kabupaten Keerom agar segera membuat laporan, terkait kondisi terakhir bencana banjir yang terjadi di wilayahnya. “Supaya kita bisa lihat dan bantu secara komprehensif,” terangnya. 

Selain Keerom, Wagub juga memerintahkan SKPD terkait untuk membantu pemda Intan Jaya dalam hal penyediaan bahan makanan bagi pengungsi. 

“Termasuk nanti Kabupaten Nduga yang mungkin lebih ke bantuan pembanunan fisik. Sebab masyarakat mau pulang ke kampungnya sudah tidak ada apa-apa (rumah warga dihancurkan)”.

“Sehingga tgas kita nanti di provinsi membangun rumah dan lainya atau lewat bidang pertanian membantu stimulan sehingga masyarakat hidup kembali seperti semula,” pungkasnya.

Papua Deputy Governor Klemen Tinal instructed relevant agencies to immediately step down to help deal with the flooding in Keerom Regency, due to recent heavy rainfall. 

This was conveyed by Deputy Governor Klemen to the press, after submitting the Budget Implementation Document (DPA) – Regional Apparatus Task Force (SKDP) of Papua Provincial Government 2021, in Jayapura, Thursday (11/2/2021).  

"The flood disaster in Keerom is actually the responsibility of the local district. But since it's close to the province, we'll help. The most important thing at this time is the head of Public Work Department and others have to see what causes flooding".

"Whether due to open irrigation or exploited forests and others. If the forest is exploited then the people who steal the wood are destroyed, the farmers lose because the crops are flooded," he said.

The Deputy Governor on that occasion asked the Keerom Regency Government to immediately make a report, related to the last condition of flood disasters that occurred in the region. "So that we can see and help comprehensively," he explained. 

In addition to Keerom, the Deputy Governor also ordered the relevant Regional Apparatus Task Forces to assist the Government of Intan Jaya in providing foodstuffs for refugees.

"Including Nduga Regency which may be more to the assistance of physical development. Because people want to go back to their village there is nothing (people's houses destroyed)".

"So that we will build houses and others or through agriculture helps stimulants so that people live again as before," he concluded.
