"The perpetrators of the attacks on the government, the violence against the people or state apparatus in Papua must be dealt with sternly according to the law," he said to ANTARA here.
The chief of the Mulia police sector, Adjunct Commissioner Dominggus Octavianus Awes was killed by an unknown person at Mulia airport in Puncak Jaya on Monday.
The incident occurred when the police commander had come to the airport to take delivery of a consignment of goods. Suddenly, someone believed to be a member of a local armed gang (GPK) approached him, snatched his pistol and used it to shoot him.
After the Dominggus had fallen to the ground , the gunman shot him again in his head. The police officer died with shot wounds in the head, eyebrow and in the upper part of his chest.
Djoko asked all security apparatus to find the perpetrator and take legal action against him.
"Everyone involved in the shooting must be dealt with according to the existing law in the country," he said.
He said the Unitary State of Indonesia is already final including the extension of a special autonomy status for Papua to accelerate development in the province.
"To deal with shortcomings in its implementation the government has already established a Papua and West Papua Development Acceleration Unit which routinely evaluates the implementation of the special autonomy," he said.
He said "the funds for the implementation of the special autonomy are not small reaching trillions of rupiahs (billions of dollars) and therefore accountability and evaluation are needed."
The authorities dispersed the Third Papua People`s Congress last week leading to violent clashes that caused the death of a number of people.(*)
