PDI-P spokesman Mohamad Guntur Romli explained the reason why PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto did not provide information after being questioned by the KPK on Monday, January 13, yesterday.

Guntur said that Hasto's attitude followed the strategy of the PDIP General Chair, Megawati Soekarnoputri. And fully leave it to his attorney.

"The Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto did not provide information to the media according to the KPK's investigation because it was related to the investigation material, so it had become the realm of law enforcement regarding legal matters, Mas Hasto left it entirely to the attorney," said Guntur in his statement, Wednesday, January 15, morning.

"Mas Hasto also imitated Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri's strategy in the New Order Era when she was questioned by the police, she gave a press statement before being examined, but after being investigated and left the police station, then fully handed it over to her attorney," he continued.

Guntur said that Hasto would undergo a ongoing legal process even though the case he was accused of felt stronger in his political aroma. Therefore, Hasto will also defend himself because the case does not cause state losses but only about criticism of President Joko Widodo.

"Because Mas Hasto is not a state administrator and there is no state loss at all in this case, but because Mas Hasto's vocal and critical political stance is related to the destruction of democracy and the constitution by Jokowi and his family, Mas Hasto remains focused and serious in defending from the legal side," said Guntur.
