Dozens of people seeking positions in the Village Empowerment Agency of Papua Province – Jubi
Jayapura, Jubi -Dozens of people seeking positions in the Village Empowerment Agency of Papua Province were disappointed after their applications were rejected because they failed to satisfy requirements.
One of the applicants, Nataniel Bahabol, who came from Yalimo, said only applicants who graduated before 2011 were eligible for the hiring process. He said he was told of the requirements by the admission committee of the Provincial Community Empowerment Agency in Kotaraja on Monday (07/09/2015).
“If you only want to recruit personnel who graduated before 2011, why were we not told beforehand or why wasn’t it was announced. We have come from far-away to Jayapura,” said Nataniel.
According to him, most applicants came from other regencies by plane just to submit their applications.
“Obviously we are disappointed with the actions of the leadership of BPMK Papua province that did not give clear information. We are not government officials, we came here after borrowing some money, “he added.
Both applicants and the admissions committee argued it for a while but because of regulations made by the central government (Pempus), the applicants accepted despite coming from remote areas, such as Puncak , Timika, Paniai, Serui, Tolikara, Yalimo, Yakuhimo, and Pegunungan Bintang.
Other applicant, Yonas Tebai from Dogiyai hoped that in the recruitment process, it must prioritize native Papuans.
“We ask to prioritize Papuans. This program is for Papuans and must based on the mandate of Law No. 21 of 2001. Do not immigrants, “he hoped.
