The seven witnesses examined were part of the Jambi provincial government. He said that until me the police were still investigating the case of destroying the governor's office facilities that were carried out during a demonstration by a coal driver some time ago. Until now, investigators from the Jambi Police Ditreskrimum have not examined witnesses for demonstrations from the coal driver. Andri emphasized that in the near future, he would also summon the witness back for questioning. Previously, it was reported that there was a destruction of the governor's office facilities during a demonstration by a coal driver who demanded the opening of national road access for transportation.
