The Papua Provincial Government allocates a cost of IDR 4.3 trillion for the preparation and implementation of the National Sports Week. It's just that in its distribution (2016 - 2021) only IDR 1.7 trillion.
In this regard, the National Sports Week Committee of Papua through the Papua Provincial Government also requested an additional budget to Jakarta of IDR 1.6 trillion. Unfortunately, the request has not been realized despite the initiation of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
In response, The Head of Field I of National Sports Week Committee Papua, Yusuf Yambe Yabdi encouraged the Papua Provincial Government to form a team to accelerate the budget of National Sports Week which is filled by the Grand Committee.
"Because to encourage additional budget from the center to be quickly disbursed, it is certainly not through the National Sports Week Committee".
"That depends on the quality of communication between the Papuan Government and the Central Government. So it would be much better if there is a special team that handles it," explained Yusuf in Jayapura, Thursday (10/06/2021).
Yusuf on that occasion hoped that if the budget was realized, it could be directly handed over through the provincial or district government, to be given to the Sub-committee of National Sports Week.
"The budget can be directly distributed, because the Sub-committee felt the same way as the committee”.
The chairman of the Papuan People's Representative Council, Jhony Banua Rouw hopes that there will be more intense communication between provinces and districts, related to the closer implementation of National Sports Week.
"If there is a difference of concept or opinion between committee and sub-committee of National Sports Week, it is expected to be communicated effectively".
"National Sports Week is a big agenda that must be supported by all parties. We must prove that Papuan is able to carry out this great event. So let's leave all the differences by sitting together to match perceptions, in order to succeed this National Sports Week," he asked.
