It can not happen, the construction must be done in Papua. We’re still consistent with it and do not play it down, ” Enembe told reporters in Jayapura, Papua on Friday (13/6).

Besides the words need to be simplified and the media should use the local language to make it easy for them to digest the information,” she said.
