The MRP Must Listen To The Aspirations Of The Papuan People Who Want Special Autonomy To Continue
By: Achmad Faisal (Former Journalist) The Mayor of Jayapura, Benhur Tomi Mano, also expressed his refusal to hold an RDP. The rejection was the result of a coordination meeting attended by the forkopimda Jayapura city , traditional leaders, religious leaders, community leaders, and village heads. The Papuan people say they support the continuation of the special autonomy policy by the government because so far it has brought positive changes for Papua with the development of infrastructure and human resources (HR). Support for the continuation of special autonomy can be seen from the refusal of residents to hear the hearing (RDP) of the Special Autonomy Law by the Papuan People's Council (MRP). Papuans strongly reject their RDP because they have benefited from Special Autonomy.
