The New Zealand government has allocated Rp 20 million (US$ 2 million) in aid for the Papua Community Policing program, which is slated to commence in September. It is a three-year program in which members of the NZ police will run a Training for Trainers (TOT) program to work on
community-based approaches for Indonesian Police officers in Papua.

“There will be two NZ police officers stationed in Papua on a rotational basis, and will be helped by a number of instructors,” NZ Ambassador to Indonesia David Taylor said on Monday after meeting with Papua Police chief Insp. Gen. Tito Karnavian.

“The main purpose is to foster relations between the community and the police in Papua,” he added.

Taylor said that his government respected the full territorial integrity of Indonesia in Papua, and would fully support the central and regional governments’ approach in prioritizing the economic aspect to address many issues in Papua.

The NZ government has also rejected any form of violence and offense because they do not resolve problems, including actions by armed civilians that disrupt security.

“All parties should sit together and negotiate to find solutions for the issues and challenges faced by Papua,” said Taylor.

Commenting on this, Tito said he was optimistic that the program offered by the NZ government would support law enforcement in Papua.

“There are tough ways and there are soft ways to deal with violence and we always use hard measures as a last resort,” (asw/dic)

3) Papua governor to restart Trans-Papua Highway construction
A- A A+
Newly appointed Papuan governor Lukas Enembe says he plans to restart a neglected seven-year-old project to build highways across Papua.

“I will ask the President to continue the construction project in the hope that it can connect the whole island,” said Enembe in Jayapura on Monday.

The interconnected highways would connect seven strategic regions, namely Nabire - Waghete - Enarotali sepanjang (262 km), Timika -Mapurujaya - Pomako (42 km), Serui - Menawi - Saubeba (49 km),Jayapura - Wamena - Mulia (733 km), Jayapura - Sarmi (364 km),
Jayapura - Hamidi - Holtekam - Skow - Papua New Guinea border (53 km) and Merauke – Waropko (557 km).

He predicted that the construction of roads connecting these regions would cut logistic costs significantly and thus could spur regional economic growth.

“Right now the cost of one sack of cement in Puncak Jaya is Rp1.2 million (US$ 123) because all construction materials are transported by air, and so the shipping costs are expensive. If the roads are connected, the cost could be significantly reduced,” he said.
As comparison, in Jakarta and other big cities, the price of one sack of cement is around Rp 80,000 (U$ 9).

In 2012, the Public Works Ministry allocated Rp3.6 trillion to build the Trans-Papua Highway, a project included in the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development (MP3EI).

The government has been aiming to build 70 percent of a total of 3,100 kilometers of national road in Papua and West Papua by 2014.(asw/dic)
