Sorong Selatan Regent Petronela\nKrenak said in Sorong on Saturday that the proposal is a crucial step to\nensure the welfare of the local community is guaranteed. \u2018We have\nsubmitted the proposal to the Minister of Transmigration in Jakarta on\n25 May 2026, facilitated by Democratic Party faction member of the House\nof Representatives, Faujia Helga Br. Tampubolon,\u2019 she said. \u2018We are\ngrateful that the Minister of Transmigration has welcomed our proposal.\nThere are several programmes we have suggested for the transmigration\ncommunity in Sorong Selatan Regency,\u2019 Petronela said. According to her,\nthe transmigration areas in Moswaren District and Wayer Village in Wayer\nDistrict still require infrastructure development and basic service\nfacilities to support community activities. \u2018Therefore, we have proposed\npriority programmes including the revitalisation of places of worship,\nboth churches and mosques, construction and rehabilitation of schools,\ncommunity halls, local roads, and irrigation networks to support the\nagricultural sector,\u2019 she added. \u2018For example, in Wayer Village, the\ncommunity still requires electricity services. This has also been\ncommunicated to the Minister of Transmigration for central government\nattention,\u2019 she said. Petronela explained that the proposal is currently\nin the submission stage, with supporting data being prepared as required\nby the Ministry of Transmigration. She added that if all requirements\nare met according to regulations, Sorong Selatan Regency has the\nopportunity to receive development funding from the central government.\nShe added that the proposed programmes will involve inter-ministerial\ncoordination. \u2018The Ministry of Transmigration will coordinate with\nrelevant technical ministries, including the Ministry of Public Works\nfor road and irrigation construction, and ministries overseeing the\nagricultural sector to support transmigration area development,\u2019 she\nsaid. Petronela said the Minister of Transmigration has also indicated\nplans for an official visit to West Papua Province in the near future.\nOne of the visit\u2019s agenda is planned to take place in Raja Ampat Regency\nbefore proceeding to Sorong City. \u2018We hope the visit will provide the\ncentral government with an opportunity to see firsthand the conditions\nand needs of transmigration communities in West Papua, particularly in\nSorong Selatan,\u2019 she added. Petronela also expressed appreciation to\nHouse of Representatives Commission V member Faujia Helga Br. Tampubolon\nfor facilitating the meeting between the Sorong Selatan Regency\nGovernment and the Minister of Transmigration. She said the support\ndemonstrates the commitment of people\u2019s representatives from the West\nPapua electoral district to advocate for accelerated development in the\nregion. For her, this is a crucial step in advocating for the\ncommunity\u2019s development needs in Sorong Selatan.<\/p>",
