Papuan Deputy Governor Klemen Tinal urged the central government to immediately issue a definitive Regional Secretary (Sekda) Decree, in order to perform service and development duties.
The Deputy Governor of Klemen assessed that Doren Wakerkwa, who also serves as Assistant for Government Affairs, should be appointed as the Papua Regional Secretary.
Moreover, those concerned in fit and proper tests by the central government, are at the top of the three candidates.
“We recommend that Jakarta not be convoluted, just appoint Mr. Doren as Secretary. He is number 1 (in terms of assessment), there is no more reason to determine number two or three as a Regional Secretary must make it a habit to respect what is the legal norm that we uphold. Do not turn it around, so that it creates a bad impression for us as officials in this republic,” he told in Jayapura, Friday (Sept. 25, 2020).
He hopes that in the determination of the definitive Secretary, the central government is wise and not making a negative impression on the government and citizens in Papua.
Because if the decree of Doren Wakerkwa is not dropped from the center, the Deputy Governor takes the option to extend his current term as Acting Secretary of Papua, until the term of Governor Lukas – Klemen ends.
"Currently, Doren Wakerkwa is the Acting Regional Secretary, if possible, he will immediately be appointed as the definitive official. If not, just extend it until (Lukas-Klemen tenure)," he said.
Previously, Doren Wakerkwa was officially appointed as Acting Secretary of Papua in place of Ridwan Rumasukun who was appointed as one of the Interim Officials (Pjs) regents in one of the 11 districts, the organizer of the 2020 concurrent elections.
