TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian said that the special autonomy budget of Papua is raised to 2.25 percent of the national general allocation fund. This makes Papua a region with the eighth largest budget allocation nationwide.

"Papua's budget is the eight biggest across Indonesia, with a population of less than five million," Tito said during a work visit to the borders of Indonesia and Papua Nugini in Sota District, Merauke Regency, September 13. 

Tito compared Papua's budget with South Sumatera, which has more than 12 million population but allocated a smaller budget. The minister said that as Papua is a much bigger island compared to Java, there is a specificity to fast-track development in the Province.   

"We will revise the Law on Papua's Special Autonomy. There has to be an acceleration of development by responding to [people's] aspirations regarding regional expansion," said Tito.

Tito Karnavian said that according to the direction of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, his ministry will discuss and prepare government regulations before the deadline, which is on October 19. After that, the government will take in the aspirations of the community.
