JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, emphasized that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will provide legal assistance to the Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan. Yoory was named a suspect in the alleged corruption in the purchase of land for the IDR 0 DP House.

"There is a mechanism (in providing legal assistance). So, the mechanism for providing assistance is in accordance with the regulations," said Deputy Governor Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Monday, March 8.

Meanwhile, Acting Head of DKI Jakarta Regional-Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD), Riyadi said that his party would coordinate with the DKI Legal Bureau regarding plans to provide legal assistance.

However, Riyadi said, Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya also has a legal assistance team for resources in DKI BUMDs.

"I think there will be. I coordinate first with the legal bureau. There is also Sarana Jaya. As a rule, it is possible to provide legal assistance for BUMD HR with legal problems," he said.
