In a statement cited here on Monday, Highland Papua Governor John Tabo confirmed that his administration had allocated a land plot for the planned police base in Wouma.
“We have prepared a site measuring about 10 hectares,” he said, noting that the government now awaits the police to commence construction.
Tabo added that his side also plans buildings for the prosecutors’ office, a court, state auditors, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), and other institutions.
The governor highlighted that the planned construction is part of efforts to strengthen governance in Highland Papua, one of four new Papuan provinces established in 2022.
