Jakarta, June 26 (ANTARA News) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has verified presidential candidate Jokowi's wealth here on Thursday as mandated by the law ahead of the election scheduled on July 9.

The KPK had verified the wealth reports of Jokowis rival candidate, Prabowo Subianto and his running mate, Hatta Rajasa, on Wednesday.

After the verification, Jokowi stated that the KPK had conducted a detailed verification of his assets.

"They posed detailed questions regarding his fixed or non-fixed assets despite the fact that we have been checked several times before," he added.

Jokowi noted that he has had his wealth reports checked in 2005, 2010, and 2012. Jokowi was formerly the mayor of Solo city in Central Java before being elected as Jakartas governor.

"They have individually checked the details of the assets that he owns. Now, they verified them again to see if new assets have been added or assets have been sold. That is what I have clarified," he affirmed.

Jokowis total wealth will be officially made known on July 1 by the General Elections Commission (KPU).

Jokowi confirmed that there were new assets, but there were also assets that had been sold.

Besides changes in the total assets owned, the KPK has also verified the origins of the assets, he added.

"They asked, for instance, where I got the money to buy certain assets, and I told them that I have sometimes sold some to buy others. They have all been verified, even small ones like motorcycles," Jokowi stated.

Based on his wealth report made in 2010, Jokowis net value reached Rp18.47 billion plus US$9,483.

Jokowis running mate, former vice president Jusuf Kalla, is scheduled to verify his wealth report in the afternoon.

Based on his report made on November 16, 2009, Jusuf Kallas wealth was recorded at Rp314.51 billion plus US$25,718.

Prabowo Subianto as the former commander of the armys Staff and Command College reported on July 23, 2003, his wealth at a total of Rp10.65 billion plus US$4,216.

When Prabowo was the running mate of Megawati Soekarnoputri in the 2009 presidential election, he reported his wealth at Rp1.57 trillion plus US$7.5 million, of which Rp1.5 trillion was in the form of securities.

His running mate Hatta Rajasas wealth meanwhile was reported at Rp16.95 billion plus US$56,936, according to his report on July 27, 2012.
