The newly elected governor of Indonesia's Papua province Lukas Enembe has vowed to improve the implementation of Papua's Special Autonomy Law.
The Jakarta Post reports that Mr Enembe said improvements were necessary as many Papuans continued to complain about the lack of benefits from being granted Special Autonomy status in 2001.
The Special Autonomy Law was intended to guarantee the delivery of basic services in Papua region.
However despite large budgets to the region's bureaucracies, Special Autonomy has been poorly implemented and broadly rejected by West Papuans.
Mr Enembe said his first priority as Governor was to handle the obstacles holding Special Autonomy back.
He says he has informed Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono about his plans.
