Papua Special Committee of DPD RI and PT. Freeport Talks About Problems in Papua

JAKARTA, JAGAPAPUA.COM – Papua Special Committee (Pansus) DPD RI today, Wednesday (02/12/2020), held a meeting with PT. Freeport Indonesia. The meeting was in the context of discussing various problems occur in Papua that have something to do with PT. Freeport.

In the invitation Papua Special Committee of DPD RI as accepted by jagapapua.com, the agenda invited PT Freeport, BP LNG Tangguh with an agenda to discuss the economic, social rights of the indigenous Papuan people and victims of employee layoffs that were experienced by thousands of Freeport Workers. The attorney for Freeport workers was present at the meeting.

Chairman of the Papua Special Committee for DPD RI, Dr. Filep Wamafma when opening the meeting  explained, Freeport needs to know that why the Papua Special Committee was formed by the MPR in order to discuss the issue of Papua.

The most important reason is that during PT Freeport’s presence in Indonesia since 1967 until now, there are still many problems leaving even almost no clarity, which is accepted by the DPD RI.

“Many problems have arisen due to the presence of PT Freeport, for example the matter of Workers, the communal rights of the community which are problematic but have never been resolved properly, including widening economic inequality in Papua,” Filep explained.

The following are four important points discussed by the Papua Special Committee for the DPD RI;

  1. Case of dismissal of 8,300 employees of PT. Freeport in Papua, which occurred in 2017, added to labor problems in Papua. PT Freeport employees were dismissed unilaterally by PT Freeport which ended without clarity. Until now PT Freeport claims that 40% of PT Freeport employees are indigenous Papuans. Some of them are not spared from PT Freeport’s one-sided dismissal policy. Whereas according to labor law number 13 of 2003 article 155 states that termination of employees must be through a mechanism or procedure, it cannot be done unilaterally.
  2. In addition, regarding the Tangguh LNG project controlled by British Petroleum, there are so many social commitments that have been agreed with the local community affected by the development and operation of the LNG plant. In doing so, these commitments have led to conflicts between British Petroleum and the local Sebyar tribe who live on the north coast of Bintuni bay.
  3. The conflict occurred because the local community hoped that the foreign company would develop the area without displacing Ulayat land, but the role of the local government was weak and the strengthening of narrowed civil society so that there was no strong supervision.
  4. The hearing was intended to explore comprehensive information on employment situations and issues as well as discussion Of Corporate Social Responsibility in Papua and West Papua. With the hope of finding constructive solutions in improving the welfare of the people and regions in Papua. (JP/Fren)
