"And I also do, I will use energy to help and move my network, for example, there is one big case that I see will involve big people in this republic, which concerns Harun Masiku," he said.

"Who is Harun Masiku, how come he hasn't been arrested for years, huh. I will give a bonus for those who can catch Harun Masiku, IDR 8 billion in my personal money. Yes, so that enthusiasm, so that in this country who are above the law, and I use the blessings of God to eradicate corruption in Indonesia," said Maruarar.

"Come on, Mas Hasto, we are looking for it together. So that it is clear, why Harun Masiku can be lost, who has lost it, what case is behind him, what he is taking care of. Yes, Mas Hasto, politics is sacred, defending the weak, and uncovering large closed cases. Independence!" he insisted closing the video.
