OPM founder supports autonomy |

Friday, 29 January 2010 |

 The founder of the separatist Free Papua Organization (OPM), Nicolaas Jouwe, here Monday declared his commitment to supporting development in Papua under the special autonomy law enacted by the central government.
"I and my associates are ready to work with the government to develop Papua province," Jouwe said here on Monday after a meeting with Coordinating Minister for People`s Welfare Agung Laksono.
But Jouwe who is a member of the supervisory council of the Independent
Group Supporting Special Autonomy for Papua within the Republic of
Indonesia (IGSSARPRI) also said the government should evaluate its
special autonomy policy on Papua province.
"The government`s budget for the implementation of special autonomy in
Papua province is quite large. It is hard to believe that the budget
funds made available are not enough to develop Papua," Jouwe said in a
written recommendation.
Jouwe who had for the past 40 years lived in the Netherlands said the
government should strictly supervise the use of state budget funds
allocated to Papua, and investigate those suspected of corrupting the
money.
He also urged the government to widen the local people`s access to banks and medical services.
"What is also needed now is a meeting between the government and
prominent Papua figures to discuss plans to develop Papua," he said.
