Daya Serap Pemprov Papua Masih Dibawah 50 Persen

Asisten Bidang Perekonomian dan Kesejahteraan Rakyat Sekda Papua, Muhammad Musa’ad mengakui, daya serap di instansi pemerintahan memasuki akhir Agustus 2021, masih dibawah 50 persen.

Hal demikian antara lain karena sebagian besar program dan kegiatan yang telah direncanakan Organisasi Perangkat Daerah (OPD) tak bisa dijalankan. “Ini karena tidak tersedia anggarannya, yang akibat telah direfocusing untuk kegiatan penanganan COVID-19”.

“Banyak juga OPD yang menunggu sidang perubahan untuk program yang hendak direvisi, hal inilah yang menyebabkan daya serap menjadi rendah,” kata Musa’ad.

Dia katakan, mestinya di bulan kedelapan seperti ini, tingkat penyerapan anggaran sudah berada di atas 50 persen.

Oleh karena itu, lanjut Musa’ad, pihaknya baru-baru telah mendorong seluruh OPD di lingkungan Pemprov Papua untuk segera melaksanakan program dan kegiatan yang telah ditetapkan, apabila sudah ada mata anggarannya.

“Tapi saya pikir kita akan terus dorong penyerapan sebab biasanya, mendekati akhir tahun, penyerapan anggaran ini akan naik”.

“Terbukti dari tahun ke tahun daya serap Pemprov Papua selalu berada di kisaran 95-96 persen. Namun begitu kita terus mendorong OPD untuk memaksimalkan kinerjanya,” tandas Musa’ad.

Assistant for Economic Affairs and Welfare of the People of Papua, Muhammad Musa'ad admitted, absorption in government agencies entering the end of August 2021, is still below 50 percent.

This is because most of the programs and activities that have been planned by the Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) cannot be run. "Because there is no budget available as a result has been refocused for COVID-19 handling activities”.

"Many Regional Apparatus Organizations are also waiting for a change hearing for the program to be revised, which is what causes the absorption to be low," Musa'ad said.

He said, it should be in the eighth month like this, the absorption rate of the budget is already above 50 percent.

Therefore, continued Musa'ad, his party has recently encouraged all OPD in the Papua Provincial Government to immediately implement the programs and activities that have been established, if there is already a budget.

"But I think we will continue to push for absorption because normally, towards the end of the year, the absorption of this budget will go up."

"Evident from year to year the absorption of the Papua Provincial Government has always been in the range of 95-96 percent. But we continue to encourage OPD to maximize the performance," Musa'ad said.
