JAKARTA - PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto stressed that his cadres, including regional heads and deputy heads, are committed not to engage in corrupt behavior. In fact, they have signed an anti-corruption statement during a coordination meeting between the heads and deputy regional heads some time ago.

This was conveyed by Hasto while participating in anti-corruption socialization and briefing to PDIP administrators from the central to regional levels through the 2022 Integrated Smart Politics Program (PCB) which was held at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Monday, 27 June.

"We were assigned by Mrs. Mega to really all PDIP cadres have a strong commitment through the KPK's corruption prevention program. Smart politics have integrity and are integrated. This is our commitment signed by regional heads which will be followed by all members of our legislative and party structures, "Hasto told reporters.

Megawati, continued Hasto, reminded her cadres not to commit criminal acts of corruption. The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia also advised the heads/deputy heads of regions to be leaders, not officials so that they must be responsible, not corrupt, and serve the community.

Hasto then read out several points from the statement, namely that regional heads and deputy regional heads must play a pro-active role in preventing and/or eradicating corruption, collusion and nepotism, and not involving themselves in disgraceful acts.

Furthermore, they may not make any promises and/or receive any promises directly or indirectly from any party in connection with their authority and/or position.

Then at the next point, regional heads and deputy regional heads may not ask for or accept gifts directly or indirectly in the form of goods, gifts or other forms that are contrary to statutory regulations.

The statement letter was signed by 215 heads and deputy regional heads. "The party does not defend against those who abuse their authority," said Hasto.

Hasto said the activities carried out with the KPK were also followed online by cadres. This is in accordance with the general chairman's order.

"Mrs. Megawati immediately instructed that this education be followed online by PDIP cadres from all regions," he concluded.
