"EXPOSED: HIGH-PLACED INDONESIAN SPY in PNG POLITICS"

 

 

Port Vila, May 5, 2006

 

 

In an interview with Radio New Zealand International on 25 April, 2006 (vide 
Pacnews 26 April 2006), the exposed Indonesian spy and well-known Papuan 
collaborator, Franzalbert Joku, availed himself of the opportunity to promote 
the official Indonesian line on West Papua. The West Papuan people 
categorically reject this man's statements which do not reflect the political 
reality in West Papua, the overwhelming majority sentiment of whose people is 
in favour of independence.

 

The Indonesian Intelligence Service, known as BAKIN, has for some considerable 
time successfully planted Joku as an operative in the corridors of power in 
Port Moresby. Joku is a former West Papuan refugee who fled across the border 
into PNG with his parents in 1969. He is now a naturalised PNG citizen and is 
currently employed as Chief of Staff to the PNG Leader of the Opposition, Mr 
Peter O'Neill. Mr Joku's previous employment history in PNG included a lengthy 
stint as Chief of Staff and political advisor to the former PNG Prime Minister, 
Sir Julius Chan.

 

A regular commuter between Jayapura and Port Moresby, apparently with complete 
impunity, Joku has in the past also represented the Presidium of the Papua 
Council (PDP) as its Moderator for International Affairs. He held this position 
until his dismissal from the Presidium 3 years ago when documentary proof of 
Joku's collaboration with the Indonesian Intelligence Service was uncovered. In 
recent years, Joku has served the Indonesian Administration in West Papua and 
PNG in other capacities, principally on the Papuan Tribal Council (Dewan Adat) 
where he faithfully obeyed the beck and call of his Indonesian masters. Not 
only does Joku no longer represent PDP nor any other Papuan national 
organisation, but his close involvement with the Indonesian authorities renders 
him totally ineligible to represent the views and aspirations of the Papuan 
people in any form whatsoever.

 

 

Ostracised by his own Sentani people around the capital district of Jayapura 
and even by members of his own family, many of whom are active in the 
pro-independence movement and have suffered as a consequence, Joku is 
thoroughly reviled by the West Papuan people as a Quisling. The fact that he is 
enjoying the benefits of being on two payrolls at the same time, namely that of 
PNG as well as Indonesia, is not lost on the people of West Papua. He is 
purported to own a mansion in Jayapura, said to be fit for a king, and to enjoy 
special Army protection whenever and wherever he is in town.

 

If Franzalbert Joku has not yet come to the notice of the PNG National 
Intelligence Organisation, it would be wise for that body to do so as a matter 
of urgency. This man's continued activities in the upper echelons of politics 
in PNG (he once stood as a candidate for political office in PNG) can only 
represent a threat to PNG national security. The independent State of Papua New 
Guinea cannot and should not allow its independence to be compromised by 
harbouring an Indonesian agent within Government ranks. This could happen 
following the national elections due next year.

Spokesperson, Member of Presidium of the Papua Council (PDP), WPPRO in Port 
Vila, Vanuatu, ph: + 678 42601.
