"For this issue, please go to Mr. Egi (Egi Primayogha). He is the advocate," he said.
Meanwhile, when confirmed to the Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI), Boyamin Saiman, emphasized that the South Sumatra MAKI was not part of his party.
"Not a part or not a branch of MAKI. That's another party," said Boyamin.

In addition to the surrounding community being served polluted air, their source of livelihood is also disturbed by the presence of the PLTU. They no longer find fertile farmland or clean seas.
"This is partly because the land has been turned into a PLTU location and the coal spill has polluted seawater. As a result, farming or harvesting fish is no longer their choice of life," ICW wrote.
For information, the company managing the PLTU Sumsel-1 is PT Shenhua Guohua Lion Power Indonesia (SGLPI) which is a consortium consisting of China Shenhoa Energy Company Ltd and PT Lion Power Energy (LPE).
