regional needs is used through the division of functions reflected in the policy of regional
autonomy, which regulates the division of authority as well as financing the central government
and local governments (Mardiasmo, 2021). To realize regional autonomy and broad, real and
responsible decentralization, it is necessary to manage regional finances economically,
efficiently, effectively, transparently and accountably (Mardiasmo, 2021). In the context of
public accountability, local governments are obliged to optimize the budget which is carried
out efficiently and effectively to improve community welfare (Pramono, 2014).
In carrying out the government, the local government is equipped with a set of financing
capabilities as regulated in Law Number 33 of 2004 concerning Regional Central Financial
Balance. The sources of funds in the implementation of the Daerah Government consist of
Regional Native Income (PAD), Balance Fund, and Other Legitimate Income (Nurdiwaty et
al., 2017).
PAD is income sourced from the results of regional taxes, the results of regional levies,
the results of the management of segregated regional wealth and other legitimate income with
the aim of providing flexibility to regions in exploring sources of revenue to support the
implementation of Special Autonomy as a manifestation of regional autonomy (Asih, 2018).
Regional Native Income is one of the benchmarks of regional ability in organizing and realizing
otonomi daerah, besides that it is also a reflection of regional independence (Alisman & Nasir,
2014). PAD, although it can be the main capital for the implementation of government and
development, from year to year its receipts always increase, but its condition is not adequate
as the main capital (Kharisma, 2013).
After more than three decades of living in a centralistic government, since January 2001,
the Government of Indonesia has granted special autonomy to Papua by authorizing the
district/city government to regulate and take care of the interests of local communities
according to its own initiatives based on the aspirations and basic rights of the people, except
in the fields of monetary, religious, judicial, security and defense, foreign relations and across
districts/cities (Asnawi & Andrizal, 2021). As a very radical change, the implementation of
Special Autonomy has given rise to pros and cons in society.
Manyconcerns have emerged that Special Autonomy will worsen public services, expand
the practice of Corruption Collusion and Nepotism (KKN) and give rise to small kings who are
difficult to control by civil society which in the regions in general is still very weak. On the
other hand, the implementation of Special Autonomy gave birth to various new kinds of
optimism such as the emergence of a more responsive, accountable and participatory
government. The implementation of Special Autonomy can accelerate the realization of better
governance in the regions (Savitri, 2014).
Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2008 concerning the Establishment of
Government Regulations in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2008 concerning Amendments to Law
Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Province of Papua Into Law
(Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 35 Tahun 2008 Tentang Penetapan Peraturan
Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2008 Tentang Perubahan Atas
Undang-Undang Nomor 21 Tahun 2001, 2008) there have been various fundamental changes
in the regulation of local government in Papua. As a logical consequence is the need to organize
various elements relating to Local Government as a manifestation of Special Autonomy.
