The Presence of BP and Freeport Corporations, Papua Still Poor

The enforcement of justice and prosperity in the land of Papua has not been fulfilled to this day, this is what the Special Committee of Papua Dr. Filep Wamafma fought for in several Co-Corporations in Papua. They were summoned by the Papua Special Committee of DPD RI in yesterday’s hearing.

Filep said, based on the findings he obtained from the community, the utilization of Papua’s natural resources had not been given maximum priority to indigenous Papuans (OAP), the basic rights of Papuans were still ignored. “Said Filep.

He continued, it can be seen based on data released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2019, that Papua province is the province with the highest poverty rate in Indonesia, reaching around 27.53 percent, compared to West Papua Province. “This should be a serious concern for all of us, in particular, PT. Freeport Indonesia and BP Indonesia, which are currently mining in Papua,” he said.

In addition to high poverty, Filep also revealed that the large number of workers employed by companies in Papua is more likely to come from outside Papua, eventually the native Papuans become guests in their own homes. Supposedly, Papuans have a great opportunity to start their careers on their land, but this is the opposite. OAP became isolated in his own house. “Said the Chairperson of the Papua Special Committee.

Not only that, Filep also stressed, as a result of the Termination of Employment (PHK) conducted by PT Freeport Indonesia against a number of workers, he viewed it as a unilateral decision, and this was not in accordance with Labor Law No. 13 of 2003 article 155, ” He strictly speaking.

Likewise with BP Indonesia, there are a number of commitment agreements built by BP with local communities, but the impact of oil refinery development has resulted in social conflicts, such as the Sebyar tribe in Bintuni who live on the north coast of the Bintuni bay. ” Filep ended. (JP/RS)
