JAYAPURA – Papua Deputy Governor Aryoko Rumaropen, on behalf of the Governor of Papua, officially handed over three letters of appointment to acting heads of Regional Apparatus Organizations within the Papua Provincial Government on Friday (November 7, 2025).

The three appointed officials are:

1. Yaconias Maintindom, S.P., M.Si – Acting Head of the Forestry and Environment Office
2. Dr. Karsudi, S.P., M.Si – Acting Head of the Office of Energy and Mineral Resources, Investment, and One-Stop Integrated Services
3. Subhan, S.E., M.M – Acting Head of the Regional Revenue Agency of Papua Province

The handover followed two other appointment letters distributed a day earlier.

In his remarks, the Deputy Governor reminded the newly appointed officials to immediately strengthen internal coordination, maintain team cohesion, and avoid forming internal factions within their respective agencies.

“To the new leaders, I hope you will guide and support all subordinates. There must be no factions within the organization. We only have one and a half months left for budget absorption of the Regional Apparatus Organizations, so focus on the remaining fiscal year and continue the progress already achieved,” the Deputy Governor emphasized.

At the same event, the Deputy Governor also symbolically handed over the 2026 budget ceilings to the Regional Apparatus Organizations across the Papua Provincial Government. He underscored the importance of preparing the 2026 Activity Budget Plan with a focus on strategic programs and initiatives that promote Papua’s development realistically and sustainably.

For SKPDs that have outstanding activity debts recorded in accordance with regulations, the Deputy Governor urged them to prioritize budget allocations to settle those obligations and firmly reminded them that no new debts should be incurred in the 2025 fiscal year.

“We must maintain a proper regional budget cycle. Therefore, no new debts should be created this year. Focus on meeting existing obligations and continuing the priority programs already in progress,” he concluded. ***
