Pihaknya pun menyatakan siap mengambil langkah dan kebijakan apabila mendapat permintaan dari dua kepala daerah tersebut.

"Dari kunjungan tadi yang perlu jadi perhatian adalah komoditas daging sapi dan bawang. Memang kalau musim hujan bawang susah tapi ada kerja sama daerah dengan provinsi, kalau memang perlu intervensi, kita siap lakukan. 

"Makanya kita perlu rapat dan diskusi bersama seperti ini untuk melihat itu," terang Gubernur Ridwan, usai kunjungan di Kantor Bupati Keerom. 

Kendati demikian, Gubernur mengapresiasi Bupati Jayapura dan Keerom yang telah melakukan pengendalian inflasi dengan maksimal. Ia pun berharap kedua pemerintahan terus bekerja keras melakukan pengendalian inflasi, lewat kolaborasi aktif dengan pemerintah provinsi.

"Kabupaten Keerom dan Jayapura telah melaksanakan (pengendalian inflasi) dan kita harapkan bisa ditingkatkan. Sehingga inflasi di Keerom bisa terkendali dengan baik."

"Sebab kalau terkendali maka masyarakat bisa beli barang dengan murah dan terjangkau, sehingga itu juga dia mempunyai hubungan dengan kesejahteraan," tegas Ridwan.

Asisten II Setda Papua, Setyo Wahyudi mengatakan harga sejumlah komoditas sempat naik karena kendala distribusi. Kendati demikian, saat ini kondisi ketersediaan komoditas tersebut dalam posisi aman dan harganya sudah stabil. 

"Memang yang utama dalam pengendalian inflasi adalah ketersediaan bahan pokok. Ini yang kita jaga dan pantau terus secara berkala," tandasnya

ARSO - The Acting Governor of Papua, Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun highlighted the rising prices of beef and onion commodities during his visit to Jayapura and Keerom regencies, Tuesday (4/6/2024).

He also stated that he was ready to take steps and policies if he received a request from the two regional heads.

"From the visit, we are concerned about beef and onion commodities. In the rainy season, onions are difficult but there is regional cooperation with the province, so we are ready to do the intervention needed.

"That's why we should have meetings and discussions together," Governor Ridwan told the press, after a visit to the Keerom Regent Office.

Nevertheless, the Governor appreciated the Regent of Jayapura and Keerom for maximally controlling inflation. He also hopes that the two governments will continue to work hard to control inflation, through active collaboration with the provincial government.

"Keerom and Jayapura districts have implemented (inflation control) and we hope it can be improved. So that inflation in Keerom can be controlled properly."

"By controlling, people can buy things at a low price and affordably, so that it also has a relationship with welfare," said Ridwan.

Meanwhile, after visiting the two areas, he confirmed that he would visit Waropen Regency. Because Waropen is one of the regions that received attention from the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding inflation control. 

Assistant II Papua Regional Secretariat, Setyo Wahyudi said the prices of some commodities had risen due to distribution constraints. However, currently, the condition of availability of these commodities is in a safe position and the price is stable.
