PDIP politician Said Abdullah admitted that his party did not consider the summons of the PDIP Secretary General, Hasto Kristiyanto by the KPK as a form of recklessment. "Efforts to tackle? What was tackled by Mr. Hasto? No," Said said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 5. Said assessed that the public should not rush to interpret the summons of the KPK as an attempt to tackle people. According to him, Hasto will only be questioned not as a witness regarding the case involving former PDIP politician, Harun Masiku. "We shouldn't rush it, we are called for questioning, not called as witnesses, especially nauzubillah, then there are stamps and so on, no," he said. Said also asked the public not to suspect that Hasto must have something to do with the fugitive corruption case, Harun Masiku. "Don't then make presumption or hypothesis, which then deviates far away, which is actually normal to become unusual," said Said. It is known that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to summon the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto next week. Investigators have scheduled an investigation regarding the search for former PDIP candidate Harun Masiku, who is still at large and unknown. "It is possible that the information from a friend of the investigator's friend will be summoned next week," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 4. "But indeed we have not confirmed the time again and whether the summons will have been sent or not but has been scheduled," he continued.

Ali said Hasto's summons was related to the new information received by the anti-corruption commission regarding the whereabouts of the fugitive. Even so, he did not elaborate further on the ongoing process. The KPK only provides a lattice where there are parties who hide Harun. “ So, we continue to explore further, ” he said.
