Kemendagri Didorong Segera Terbitkan SK Penunjukkan Caretaker Bupati Yalimo

Pemerintah Provinsi Papua mendorong Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Kemendagri) untuk segera menerbitkan Surat Keputusan (SK) penunjukkan Caretaker Bupati Kabupaten Yalimo.

Hal demikian agar roda pemerintahan di kabupaten tersebut berjalan lebih baik, pasca pembakaran kantor dan kios di Distrik Elelim, akibat putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) yang mendiskualifikasi kepesertaan pasangan calon Bupati dan Wakil Bupati Yalimo Erdi Dabi-Jhon Wilil.

Hal ini disampaikan Asisten Bidang Pemerintahan Setda Provinsi Papua Doren Wakerkwa di Jayapura, Kamis.

Kendati demikian, ia pastikan saat ini kondisi dan situasi di Kabupaten Yalimo sudah kondusif pascakerusuhan pada Selasa (29/6/2021).

Dimana, Sekretaris Daerah (Sekda) Kabupaten Yalimo Isak Yando kini menjabat sebagai Pelaksana Harian (Plh) Bupati setempat, guna mengisi kekosongan jabatan sementara.

“Intinya soal Yalimo, Gubernur Papua Lukas Enembe sudah mengusulkan Carateker Bupati-nya. Dan hingga kini masih menunggu prosesnya dari Kementerian Dalam Negeri. Kita harap segera turun SK-nya paling lambat pekan depan,” harap ia.

Doren berharap Sekda Kabupaten Yalimo, selaku pelaksana harian bupati, dapat menjalankan tugas pemerintahan.

Dimana upaya menjaga situasi dan kondisi agar tetap kondusif menjadi hal utama yang perlu dilakukan bersama pihak TNI/Polri. Dilain pihak, melakukan upaya rekonsoliasi bersama pihak terkait, agar kerusuhan sebelumnya tak lagi terjadi.

Pasca putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) yang mendiskualifikasi kepesertaan pasangan calon Bupati dan Wakil Bupati Yalimo Erdi Dabi-Jhon Wilil, massa membakar beberapa kantor dan kios di Distrik Elelim pada Selasa (29/6).

Sejumlah gedung pemerintah terbakar, diantaranya Kantor Bawaslu, Kantor Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU), Kantor BPMK, Kantor Dinas Perhubungan, Kantor Dinas Kesehatan, Kantor DPRD, Kantor Gakkumdu, dan Bank Papua.

Akibat aksi tersebut, kerugian materil diperkirakan mencapai Rp324 miliar.

The Papua Provincial Government encouraged the Ministry of Home Affairs to immediately issue a Decree (SK) appointing caretaker regent of Yalimo Regency.

This is so that the wheels of government in the district run better, after the burning of offices and shops in Elelim District, due to the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) that disqualified the participation of the spouses of candidates for Regent and Deputy Regent Yalimo Erdi Dabi-Jhon Wilil.

This was conveyed by Papua Regional Secretariat, Doren Wakerkwa in Jayapura on Thursday.

Nevertheless, he ensured that the current conditions and situation in Yalimo Regency have been conducive to post-riot on Tuesday (6/29/2021).

The Regional Secretary of Yalimo Regency, Isak Yando now serves as the Daily Executor (Plh) of the local Regent, in order to fill the temporary vacancy.

"The point is about Yalimo, the Governor of Papua Lukas Enembe has proposed his Regent's Caretaker. Until now we are still waiting for the process from the Ministry of Home Affairs. We hope to get off the decree next week," he hoped.

Doren hopes that the Secretary of Yalimo Regency, as the daily executor of the regent can carry out government duties.

The efforts to maintain the situation and conditions in order to remain conducive are the main things that need to be done with the Indonesian Army / Police. On the other hand, conduct reconciliation efforts with the relevant parties, so that previous unrest no longer occurs.

After the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) that disqualified the participation of the spouses of candidates for Regent and Deputy Regent Yalimo Erdi Dabi-Jhon Wilil, people burned several offices and shops in Elelim District on Tuesday (29/6).

A number of government buildings were burned, including the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Office, Electoral Commission Office (KPU), BPMK Office, Transportation Office, Health Office, Regional House of Representative Office, Gakkumdu Office, and Papua Bank.

As a result of the action, material losses are estimated at IDR 324 billion.
