There <br>\nis discrimination in many regencies where they employed locals. <br>\nFees have been imposed on workers or employees from other <br>\nregencies,\" said Nuwa Wea.<\/p>\n<p>\"Regional autonomy has been misunderstood. The Law on regional <br>\nautonomy was made within the frame of the unitary state of <br>\nIndonesia. Workers from West Nusa Tenggara can work in Irian Jaya <br>\nor other areas,\" he said after attending the Muhammadiyah's <br>\nsecond national congress at Lombok Raya Hotel in Mataram, West <br>\nNusa Tenggara on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\"Discrimination happens because each regency or mayoralty has <br>\nits own interpretation of regional autonomy,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>\"Its misinterpretation is also happening in the Ministry of <br>\nManpower and Transmigration. The names at the ministry's office <br>\nvary in some regencies,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that regulations and rulings on manpower in all parts <br>\nof the country must be the same. \"Indonesia ratified some <br>\ninternational laws (related with manpower), therefore, we must <br>\nimpose similar laws in all parts of the country.\"<\/p>\n<p>Nuwa Wea said regional autonomy ideally started with the <br>\nprovinces first, meaning that its familiarization would take <br>\nlonger.<\/p>\n<p>Months before the law was put into effect on Jan. 1 of this <br>\nyear, the central government had launched a campaign to introduce <br>\nregional autonomy programs to the provinces. Regents and mayors <br>\njoined the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on transmigration programs, Nuwa Wea said that land-<br>\nrelated problems were the main constraint.<\/p>\n<p>\"In the past, transmigration was just moving people from a <br>\ndensely populated area to other more spacious areas, ignoring the <br>\nfact that many locals had not yet received compensation for their <br>\nland acquired for transmigration sites,\" he cited. \"Now many <br>\nlandowners are demanding compensation.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"The compensation must be paid before resettlement programs <br>\ncontinue,\" he said.<\/p>",
