Development of XX PON Venue in Mimika Already 90 Percent

The preparation process for the XX Papua National Sports Week (PON) in Mimika Regency is almost complete.

This is because almost all of the venues for the 12 sports that were contested in Mimika have been built.

Chief Executive of the PON Grand Committee (PB) Yunus Wonda said that his party had visited all venues to ensure the construction process.

"Most of the venues, both through the Mimika Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), Papua APBD, State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN), have completed 90. Only ten percent, namely various equipment, "he explained.

Yunus explained that currently, only the aeromodelling sport branch has not been completed yet.

"This aeromodelling branch needs a lot of things to prepare," said Yunus in a written statement, Thursday (6/5/2021).

However, he confirmed that the aeromodelling venue readiness would be completed by the end of July 2021.

"PB PON Papua is also preparing accommodation readiness in the City of Timika which is adequate for all future contingents," he added.

In addition, he said, his party had also matched the readiness of the local committee regarding accommodation, consumption and equipment.

"We want to make sure everything is in order, so that in July we can carry out another stage and at the end of July we can test the event," he said.

Regarding the delegation of authority to implement PON, Yunus ensured that the PB PON would immediately convey this to the PON Sub PB.

"We want to unite the perceptions between PB PON and Sub PB PON. What is done must be one. We see that Mimika is ready, so we will immediately delegate authority to Sub PB PON, "he explained.
