TheIndonesia.co - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD said the central government will immediately prepare administrations and legal basis for three new provinces in Papua after the law was passed.
Mahfud said local administration as well as regulation for people’s representatives will be formulated soon after the House of Representatives passed the law to create the new provinces in Papua.
“Alhamdulillah, three laws on three new provinces in Papua have been passed by the House last week. Our job now is to form the [local] government there, to formulate legal instruments and legal basis for the appointment of representatives to the House, DPD [Regional Representative Council], and DPRD [Regional Legislative Council] at provincial level,” the chief security minister said on Tuesday, July 5, as reported by Antara.
He added that Ministry of Home Affairs will soon deliver its recommendation to the state government on the legal instruments that will regulate the formation of local administration and the appointment of people’s representatives in the three provinces.
