Jifunze Historia ya Jiji la Kisasa huko Papua, Kuala Kencana

Labda bado kuna watu wengi ambao hawajui kuwa Papua ina jiji la kisasa. Jiji linaitwa Kuala Kencana ambalo liko katika Jiji la Timika, Mimika Regency. 

Jambo la kushangaza ni kwamba eneo hili ni mojawapo ya miji ambayo Kikundi cha Wahalifu wenye Silaha (KKB) hakiwezi kuingia, ambacho kinawatia hofu raia kwa ukiukaji mbalimbali wa sheria. Hii ni kwa sababu Jiji la Kuala Kencana limewekewa mfumo madhubuti wa ulinzi ili kuhakikisha usalama wa watu wote mjini humo.

Mji huo wenye ukubwa wa kilomita za mraba 511 una wakazi wapatao 2,010. Ingawa iko katikati ya msitu na kuzungukwa na miti mirefu, Jiji la Kuala Kencana lina vifaa kamili na vya kisasa.

Ili kujua maelezo zaidi, angalia historia ya Jiji la Kisasa huko Papua, Kuala Kencana hapa chini. 

Historia ya Kuala Kencana

Mahali pa Kuala Kencana ni kama dakika 15 kutoka Timika. Eneo hili ni mojawapo ya vituo vya utawala na maeneo ya makazi ya wafanyakazi wa PT Freeport Indonesia. 

Hapo awali, jiji hili liliitwa Kota Baru, lakini mnamo Desemba 5 1995 lilibadilishwa kuwa Kuala Kencana au Chungu cha Dhahabu na Rais Soeharto. Wilaya ya Kuala Kencana ni mojawapo ya wilaya 18 katika Mimika Regency, na ni tarafa ya Wilaya ya Mimika Baru.

Wilaya ya Kuala Kencana iliundwa kwa kuzingatia Kanuni ya Mkoa ya Mimika Regency Namba 12 ya 2011. Wilaya ya Kuala Kencana ina vitongoji 2 na vijiji 8. Baadhi yao ni Kijiji cha Kuala Kencana, Kijiji cha Iwaka, Kijiji cha Naena Muktipura, Kijiji cha KarangHappy, Kijiji cha Mulia Kencana, Kijiji cha Utikina Baru, na Kijiji cha Bhintuka.

Kuala Kencana ni eneo la kiutawala la Serikali ya Mimika Regency ambayo iko katika eneo la mijini, ambalo hapo awali lilikuwa kitengo cha makazi ya watu wanaohama, wakati Timika bado ilikuwa chini ya usimamizi wa Fakfak Regency. 

Wilaya ya Kuala Kencana imepakana na maeneo kadhaa. Kwa upande wa kaskazini imepakana na Wilaya ya Deiyai, kusini na Wilaya ya Iwaka, Wilaya ya Kwamki Narama na Wilaya ya Mimika Baru. Wakati upande wa magharibi inapakana na Wilaya Mpya ya Mimika, na upande wa mashariki na Wilaya ya Mimika Magharibi. 

Hiki ni kituo kamili kutoka eneo la Kuala Kencana

Kuala Kencana ni eneo dogo linalosimamiwa na PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI). Kwa kweli, Kuala Kencana sio eneo la watalii au eneo mahsusi kwa madhumuni ya watalii. 

Vyama fulani pekee vilivyo na kadi za utambulisho au ambao tayari wana vibali fulani ndio wanaoruhusiwa kuingia katika eneo la Kuala Kencana. Kwa hakika, kila gari linaloingia Kuala Kencana lazima lipitie ukaguzi mkali na wa kina na maafisa wa usalama.

Inafurahisha, Kuala Kencana ni jiji la kwanza nchini Indonesia ambalo limetumia mfumo wa huduma za chini ya ardhi kwa njia za umeme, mawasiliano, pamoja na usambazaji wa maji safi na matibabu ya taka kati. Huko Kuala Kencana hakuna nguzo za nyaya za umeme zinazoonekana au nyaya za simu kwa sababu kila kitu kimepachikwa ardhini.

Aidha, eneo hili lina vifaa ngumu sana na vya kisasa kabisa. Kando na kuwa jiji la kwanza nchini Indonesia lenye mfumo wa huduma za chini ya ardhi, Kuala Kencana pia ni jiji la kwanza nchini Indonesia kuwa na mfumo wa kutibu maji machafu.
