Now the indigenous people of Bonto-Bonto Hamlet, Bonto Somba Village, Maros Regency have a ray of hope with the presence of the Mobile Integrated Population Administration Service (PAKINTAKI) team from the Maros Regency Population and Civil Registration Service, last Wednesday, September 13 2023. Indigenous peoples, who were previously isolated by difficult areas, have now achieved their right to have population documents.
The beneficiaries, such as the Cindakko indigenous community and the Bara indigenous community, came from remote hills with burning enthusiasm. They, who were daily involved in agricultural matters, left the fields to make the difficult journey down the mountain. For them, the difficulty of traveling is a price they are willing to pay in order to get the benefits of this Mobile Integrated Population Administration Service.
Daeng Basoni, a Nira tree tapper from the Bara indigenous community, expressed his gratitude for the presence of the PINTAKI team. "It's a blessing, because we who live in the mountains can get legal identity services easily. "Because, for us, it is too difficult to travel the long distance to the Disdukcapil office," said Daeng Basoni.
Mr. Suparman, Head of Bonto Somba Village, said that he currently feels full of hope and prays that the benefits of the PAKINTAKI Team will continue to flow to his village. He spoke about the urgency of basic services and population documents for the outermost villages in Maros Regency.
The PAKINTAKI team, which was formed after the Village Development Conference (Musrembang) in 14 sub-districts of Maros Regency, is not only a bridge for the outermost villages but also heroes when natural disasters strike. By utilizing a stable internet network, the PAKINTAKI Team opens services at the nearest location, providing convenience to victims of natural disasters who have lost important documents.
Ari Muhammad Reza, one of the PAKINTAKI Team members hopes that this service will not stop there. Ari said he wanted to invite village governments in outermost areas to proactively report the need for document services to them. With a quick response, the PAKINTAKI Team is ready to open mobile services, bringing a ray of hope to communities previously marginalized by difficult access.
Ari also added, as a real form of public service, the PAKINTAKI Team has proven that administrative services can reach even the remotest corners. "We will immediately check the location, and if it supports it, we will definitely open a mobile service," stressed Ari.
