Jack Puraro: KPK just arrest the person in charge of PON XX

The chairman of the Jayapura Youth Movement (Gapura) Jack Puraro asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to arrest the person in charge of the XX Papua National Sports Week (PON) which has recently drawn protests regarding the salaries of volunteers, journalists, and other third parties. "We ask that the KPK arrest the person in charge (PB PON XX Papua)," he said in Sentani, Jayapura Regency, Papua, Sunday (05/12).

According to him, the budget that has been prepared for the successful implementation of the XX Papua PON, starting from the provision of land, infrastructure, and costs for volunteers, medical personnel, journalists to third parties such as taxi transportation or others, has been provided by the central government through various funding sources, but Until now, it is still a problem in the community.

"The budgets from the committee that have not been paid (PON XX) either from Peparnas related to volunteers are said to have not been paid.

It should be suspected that it is part of the corruption case as well,” he said. For this reason, Jack asked the government through related technical institutions, from the Police, the Prosecutor's Office to the KPK to immediately investigate the issue that had just made Papuan name in the four-yearly event.

"I hope and urge you to even give full support to be immediately arrested, examined and imprisoned if necessary," he said.

Special Autonomy

Moreover, he continued, there was the issue of managing the Special Autonomy (Otsus) funds, which all parties considered that there was an overlap in the implementation in the field, so that the community as beneficiaries did not feel what the policies given by the central government were.

In fact, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD once said that he would uncover 10 corruption cases in Cenderawasih Earth, but so far this has not been blown up. "Regarding Mr. Mahfud MD's statement regarding the 10 biggest corruption cases in Papua, I would like to thank you that the central government is very careful and observant to continue to monitor how the budget is being disbursed for the benefit of both infrastructure development and the interests of economic development for the Papuan people," he said.

On one occasion, Jack admitted that he had met with Vice President Ma'aruf Amin and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD to request that the Special Autonomy Fund, which has been running for more than two decades, could be evaluated to the fullest so that it can be seen what has been built and has not been built. with the hope that the Papuan people can prosper.

"On several occasions yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Mahfud MD and Mr. Vice President Ma'aruf Amin. During the meeting, I said that related to special autonomy, a thorough evaluation must be carried out,” he asked at the time.

"Because when we talk about the special autonomy, the first thing is authority, the second is finance. When it comes to authority between Jakarta and Papua, there are parts of the powers that have not been maximized.

Or Jakarta has not provided during the Otsus journey which is not given to the Papuan people but is related to finances, between Jakarta and Papua, the central government has lowered the budget to tens of trillions of rupiah for development purposes in Papua," he continued. However, until now conflicts continue to occur, there are shootings and sad shouts about the development of human resources that are not optimal because there are still many Papuan children in the interior who have not been touched with maximum education, there are even five districts that are declared below the line for the category of human resource development. his.

"But why are there still conflicts today, shootings keep happening, there are still many Papuans whose children should be sent to school to have a good IQ and should be sent abroad to school, but it doesn't happen. My question is, where is this trillions of rupiah actually going," he said.

This, he continued, had been conveyed to the Vice President Ma'aruf Amin when he visited Papua in Jayapura City during a meeting at the Papua Governor's Office.

"I ask the Vice President to immediately audit, examine all managers of the special autonomy fund," he said. Jack illustrates that there are a number of officials in Papua who are of the same class and rank, only some are given positions to manage Otsus funds and some are not.

However, the difference can be seen from the lifestyle that is lived, so that of course makes it sad, because there has been a division. "They are like the holders of Aladdin's lamp in the fairy tale world. Whether you want land, a luxury car or a house to live in, it's all there.

While other friends, other officials still receive the same salary, even though the work is the same. So, assets are different, this must be checked," he said.

So, Jack is committed if the central government applies a firm stance to thoroughly investigate cases of alleged corruption in Papua, "So, I am the first person, as a youth figure who is also an activist who will sign to give 100 percent support to the government's hard work in eradicating corruption by calling all the Otsus fund management group, to be arrested," he said.
