JAKARTA - Lawyer who is also a relative of fugitive Harun Masiku, Daniel Masiku, admitted that he was annoyed with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He felt that investigators' examination took time and interfered with his work.

This was conveyed by Daniel after undergoing examination as a witness to the alleged bribery of the management of members of the DPR for the 2019-2024 period with the suspect Harun Masiku.

"I personally feel aggrieved by conditions like this, checked back and forth, I was out of time, my work was disrupted," Daniel told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

Daniel said the material asked by investigators was no different from the previous one. In the future, he hopes that the KPK will immediately arrest Harun.

This is because the family is also waiting for the anti-corruption commission's steps. "The KPK leadership had stated that in the next week Harun Masiku could be arrested," he said.

"But to this day we cannot be arrested. That is also a question for us as a family," continued Daniel, who works as a lawyer.

The KPK summoned a number of other witnesses in the Harun Masiku case apart from Daniel Masiku. They are Donny Tri Istiqomah who is a PDIP cadre as well as a lawyer; Viryan as a member of the 2017-2022 Indonesian KPU; Sintia Yuliantika as a housewife; Patrisius Hitong who is a BUMN employee Bank Mandiri; and Donfri Jatnika as a private employee.

Previously reported, the KPK developed an interim replacement bribery (PAW) case that ensnared former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and his fugitive, Harun Masiku. Two people were later named as suspects, namely PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and Donny Tri Istiqomah who are PDIP cadres as well as lawyers.

It didn't stop there, Hasto was also a suspect in the obstruction of the investigation. He is suspected of trying to obstruct the legal process, one of which is by asking Harun to damage his cellphone and run away after the hand arrest operation (OTT) was carried out.
