Career

Haluk joined the civil service upon her graduation from Cenderawasih University. She was assigned to the Jayawijaya regional government, where she become the head of the family welfare improvement sub-agency of the region in 2001. Three years later, Haluk received a promotion and was entrusted to lead the region's women empowerment office. [4] [5]

She returned to the women empowerment office—which was renamed to women empowerment and family planning agency—a year later and became its secretary. She became the new agency's head in 2011. [4] [5]

Haluk was called to the government of the Papua province after about a decade in Jayawijaya. Ribka became the Head of the Social Welfare and Isolated Communities Agency of Papua in 2013. [4] [5] The agency was renamed to the Social and Settlement Agency a year later, and Haluk was installed as the head of the new agency on 6 March 2014. [6] [7] During her tenure as head of the agency, Haluk twice served as an acting regent. She first served as acting regent in the Mappi Regency from 11 April to 22 May 2017, [8] replacing Stefanus Kasima, another acting regent whose term have ended. [9] Her second time as acting regent came during the riots that occurred as a result of the dispute after the commencement of the June 2021 Yalimo regent election. Haluk was appointed as the acting regent of the region on 26 August 2021, with the main task of pacifying the region through communication with all stakeholders involved. [10] There were some doubts by the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian regarding her ability to resolve the riots and the electoral dispute. The conflict later ended following a decision by the constitutional court [11] and a definitive regent was installed in place of her on 1 April 2022. [12] Haluk's success in resolving the conflict, as well as the fact that her husband is from Nabire, were cited as one of the reasons Tito appointed her as the acting governor of Central Papua. [2]

After eight years serving as the head of the agency, Haluk was discharged from the post and became the expert staff for personnel and public services on 9 November 2022. [13] She became the acting governor of Central Papua two days later. [2]
