The monitoring process, said Risma, was also carried out by comparing the prices of necessities on the market, although they only differed slightly.

"I have to know that the process is clear. Even the prices of all kinds, sometimes I control the prices on the market here, sometimes we control it ourselves, this is expensive, even though the difference is between Rp. 500, Rp. 1,000. I always say, replace , said Risma.
