The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto reminded that the spirit of reform should be proven by staying away from corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN).
This was conveyed in response to the phenomenon of the advancement of a number of people in the circle of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada). One of them, Devid Agus Yunanto, who is the personal secretary of the former Governor of DKI Jakarta.
"If we look at the whole spirit of reform, the spirit is anti-KKN. So that such form of collusion cannot be done because it includes the forms of nepotism," Hasto told reporters at the Media Center TPN Ganjar-Mahfud, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday, April 1.
Hasto said that the progress of people in Jokowi's circle during the 2024 Pilkada was a form of abuse of power. He considered this step could injure people's sovereignty.
"To become a leader is the right of everyone, to become a regional head, the deputy regional head is not from people close to Pak Jokowi's family, close to the palace but this is the constitutional right of citizens," he said.
