Hasto Asks Megawati Not To Visit The KPK Detention Center: I'm In A Healthy And Enthusiastic Condition

Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto asked his general chairman, Megawati Soekarnoputri, not to visit him at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Detention Center (Rutan). Hasto admitted that he was in good condition.

This was conveyed by Hasto after undergoing examination as a suspect at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Thursday, February 27. Initially, he said Megawati was a political figure who had various activities.

"He is a leader, a big leader, his responsibility is broad not only national but also international. Because he is also carrying out peace missions, Soekarno's geopolitical thoughts and plans will even hold Pancasila Summit," Hasto told reporters at the location.

Hasto called this condition a tough task. Therefore, Megawati did not need to come to the detention center.

"I conveyed to our legal adviser to ask Megawati Soekarnoputri's mother not to visit because I am in good health and even enthusiasm," he said.

Hasto also said that he had adapted well to the KPK Detention Center. "We are exercising, even now we are singing mandatory songs. Some even sang regional songs that were full of enthusiasm," he said.

"And also what we are doing will be carried out as well as possible because we believe that the truth will win," continued Hasto.

Previously reported, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto was officially detained in connection with the bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives and the obstruction of the investigation on Thursday, February 20. He occupied the State Detention Center Branch of the East Jakarta Class I State Detention Center for 20 days and could be extended according to the needs of investigators.

Hasto was charged with Article 21 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

As for the bribery case related to PAW, members of the DPR RI, the process will be carried out simultaneously. This is because the investigation warrant (sprindik) issued on December 23, 2024, focuses more on the application of Article 21.
