The Academic Team of Cenderawasih University (Uncen) Jayapura, submitted the results of the study of the Draft Special Autonomy Law to Papua Governor Lukas Enembe, Wednesday (16/9/2020), in Jayapura.
The results of the study contain three components that will be a draft of the Special Autonomy Law to be pushed to the central government.
The three components are about the evaluation of the Special Autonomy Law itself, the issue of territorial expansion and the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Papua Governor Lukas Enembe said he had instructed staff to study the results of the study, to be further formulated and encouraged to the central government.
"The team of academics from Uncen led by Assistant Rector III has submitted the results of the review of Special Autonomy Law".
"We will discuss with the staff immediately, we will learn, then we will formulate and will continue to Jakarta," explained Lukas in his office.
Lukas actually admitted to being disappointed and no longer wanted to push for the extension of the Special Autonomy Act. In 2015, he was rejected by the Papua Provincial Government when pushing the Special Autonomy Act. He knew the Special Autonomy Act, which would expire in 2021, would trigger problems.
Nevertheless, as a regional leader he did not see his citizens as victims due to the voice and aspirations of asking for independence from certain parties.
Thus, he encouraged the best solution for the citizens of Papua through the extension of the Special Autonomy Law which is temporarily encouraged by the central government.
Special Autonomy Papua Law Review Team Dr. Basir Rohrohmana as Lecturer of Faculty of Law Uncen Jayapura hopes the draft study submitted can help the governor and the board in pushing for the extension of the regulation to the center.
Nevertheless, the revision of the Special Autonomy Law conducted by Jakarta is expected to involve the relevant parties in Papua.
"For example, if there is an expansion we hope to involve the relevant parties here," he said.
