Regional Expansion is a Mandate of the Law

 

The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD explained that the division of the Papua region into five regions was a mandate of Law 21 of 2001 concerning Papua Special Autonomy.

The aim of the expansion of this new autonomous region is to focus more on the welfare of the Papuan people, because Papua is an inseparable part of Indonesia.

Hans Mote as the Head of the MeePago Tribe in the Sentani region strongly agrees and gives full support to the government for the expansion of a new autonomous region in Papua.

"Let us support the government for the welfare and advancement of the Papuan people by expanding the new autonomous region," said Mote at his residence, Thursday (11/2/2021).

With the expansion of this new autonomous region, it is hoped that Papua will be more advanced and its development is evenly distributed on all fronts so that its people will also advance.

"This expansion is good for the progress of society, development, education and better health services in the future," he explained
