TEMPO.CO, Biak - LSM Fiaduru Executive Secretary Oktovianus Mangge says there are several Papuan figures with qualifications needed to enter President Jokowi’s upcoming cabinet.
“[They are worthy] because they are working as regents, mayors, and governors. Apart from the city or regional-level politicians,” said Oktovianus Mangge.
The non-government organization director mentioned the names of people who he thinks are qualified, such as; Uncen Jayapura Rector Dr. Ir. Ir. Apolo Safanpo M.T, young bureaucrat Velix Wainggai, Jayapura Regent Matias Awaitouw, Papua Governor Lukas Enembe, and presidential special staff Lenius Kogoya.
He also mentioned Minister Prof. Yohana Yembise and former Jayawijaya Regent Jhon Wempi Wetipo as possible candidates.
Even though he acknowledges the president’s prerogative right, he expressed hope for a Papuan, or more, making it into the upcoming State Cabinet.
