Jakarta.
Presidential and vice presidential candidates Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla have
managed to raise as of Tuesday for their campaign up to Rp 35 billion ($3
million) from the public through bank accounts that they opened last month.
“The
numbers have increased by Rp 3 billion since yesterday,” Zuhairi Misrawi, a
member of Joko and Kalla’s campaign team, said on Wednesday.
The pair
opened three bank accounts for their fundraising program on May 29, and the
public can donate through those accounts. To date, 29,992 people have
contributed to the accounts, collecting Rp 2 billion on average each day.
To audit
the funds, Joko and Kalla’s team has appointed public accountant firm Answar
Sugiharto & Partners.
“Yesterday,
around 1,800 people contributed,” Zuhairi said.
He also
reminded supporters interested in donating to the campaign that they should
provide identification upon depositing or transferring into the funds.
“The funds
cannot be used for the campaign without the sender’s clear identity. We hope
the public would understand and give their full identity,” he said.
