JAKARTA - Member of the PKS faction of the DKI DPRD, Abdul Aziz, responded to the increase in the wealth of Ahmad Riza Patria during his one year serving as Deputy Governor of DKI.

Aziz sees Riza's wealth increasing as not a problem, as long as he acquires wealth in a way that does not violate the rules.

"It doesn't matter as long as it is obtained in the right way," said Aziz in a text message, Monday, September 13.

Moreover, Aziz said that Riza's wealth could have come from the increase in the selling price of the land and buildings owned.

"Wealth is a movable asset. Maybe it also happened because there was an increase in the price of assets in the form of land or buildings that he owned," he said.
