The Head of Public Relations of the Papuan Police, Kombes Pol. Ahmad Musthofa Kamal, in Jayapura, Saturday, confirmed the burning of the Kebo District Office, Paniai Regency.

"The temporary motive for burning the Kebo District Office was because the perpetrators were disappointed that the salaries of village officials and the distribution of BLT in Kebo 1 Village, Kebo District were not paid according to the list, so this triggered the arson," said Kamal.
