KPK Will Check Semarang Walkot Mbak Ita, Secretary General Of PDIP Ungkit Again Marianus Sae Case
The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto touched on the political interests ahead of the 2024 Pilkada that often occur. This experience repeatedly occurs so that it is not new.
This was conveyed by Hasto in response to allegations of corruption in the Semarang City Government (Pemkot), West Java, which is being handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This case allegedly dragged the name of the Mayor of Semarang who is also a PDIP cadre Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu or Mbak Ita.
"Actually, historically before the simultaneous regional elections, there are various dynamics of legal politics driven by truth, other political interests that occurred in the previous regional elections," Hasto told reporters at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Saturday, July 20.
Hasto then mentioned the corruption case of the former Ngada Regent Marianus Sae in the 2018 Pilkada. He said, there are similarities between the fate of the two cadres.
However, he still respects the ongoing investigation of the case. As long as the process still prioritizes the principle of presumption of innocence.
PDIP believes and we respect that the entire legal process is only carried out with the principle of presumption of innocence and prioritizing truth in law. Don't let the law be ridden by power tools," he said.
