"We ask the government firmly to the parties who want to disrupt investment climate, especially if done by Indonesian people themselves, immediately follow the law. Don't Indonesian people used to kill the character people of Papua development," said Merauke Regent, Frederikus Gebze after Stakeholder Meeting of Palm Oil Industry Development in Merauke and Boven Digul Regencies in Jakarta on Monday (24/7).

"If the industry is realized starting from the plantation, CPO and processing plant, Papua will no longer need CPO from Java and we no longer need oil, soap, cosmetics from there anymore," he said.
