TEMPO.CO, Jayapura - Papua Police Chief Insp. Gen. Mathius Fakhiri said his side would adopt a welfare approach in regions prone to armed criminal groups (KKB). This approach would be carried out in line with law enforcement by taking stern action against such group members.

“We will not take even a step back. Of course, [we will take] a soft way,” said Fakhiri after seeing off Comr. Gen. Paulus Waterpauw who is now the Head of Defense and Security in Jayapura, Monday, March 9, 2021.

He explained that the Deputy Chief of Regional Police, Brig. Gen. Eko was also part of the Noken Community Development task force so that he would carry out what he had initiated, including collaborating with the Nemangkawi task force assigned by the National Police Chief.

Regarding the supervision of the special autonomy fund in order to make it right on target, Fakhiri said he would establish joint communication. The National Police would not hesitate to take firm action if anyone tries to misuse the existing budget for Papua.

Fakhiri, who replaced Paulus Waterpauw as the regional police chief, said he would establish communication to create synergy in developing Papua.
