The budget proposal for the implementation of National Sports Week XX 2021 is certainly worth Rp1.6 trillion.

According to Daily Chairman of National Sports Week Committee Papua Yunus Wonda, the proposal is now being reviewed by the Ministry of Youth and Sport. Once completed, the proposal is then submitted to the Ministry of Finance for approval.

"Yesterday we submitted a proposal to the central government of IDR 1.6 trillion from the needs of around IDR 2 trillion. Around IDR 500 billion of the rest is budgeted through the Ministry of Youth and Sport to the National Sports Week Committee of Papua ".

"So from IDR 1.6 trillion, we do not know what it will look like, whether the government will respond to this proposal or use it according to their standards, the expectation is approved immediately,"  Yunus told the press, after a meeting with the board, Tuesday (23/3/2021).

It is said that currently the National Sports Week Committee no longer gets budget support from the Provincial Budget because previously it has received an allocation of IDR 2 trillion for the construction of venues and others.

So to cover the needs of broadcasting and consumption components, the committee needs budget support from the central government.

"We in the committee no longer get the budget from the Regional Budget of Papua. So for components such as broadcasting and consumption that we cannot charge, then ask the central. This should be able to (get support), because otherwise it will affect other areas in the National Sports Week Committee Papua in terms of budgeting ".

"Yes, if for just meeting operations and others, we can take from the committee. But if the procurement of cutlery and so on must still pass the proposed budget of the state budget, " he hoped.

Previously, Deputy for Sports Achievement Improvement Ministry, Chandra Bhakti ensured that he was reviewing National Sports Week XX budget proposals.

The proposal to finance the implementation of National Sports Week XX in Papua, Chandra added, will be reviewed in accordance with unit price standards.

"The proposal will be reviewed by reviewing it as the basis for the standardization," he concluded.
