The intended medical personnel are in the form of incentive payments or additional income allowances (TTP) that the Buru Regency Government has not yet done. "Because the status of the case is still at the investigation stage, the prosecutor is only limited to collecting data by summoning a number of parties for questioning," Wahyudi explained.
