Jumardin said the drivers who pay not given proof of payment. Money given so as "tribute" special that must be inserted into the pockets of officials. Things like that are very detrimental to the illegal payment of local government.

"This made the transportation department at the weighbridge. Therefore, we ask the Southeast Sulawesi provincial government in order to curb the illegal payment. This is so the driver can pay money into the local government," said Jumardin in Southeast Sulawesi parliamentary office, Wednesday (04/01/2015).
