DOC VOI

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that a summons to the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto as a witness in the bribery case of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has been delivered properly.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika when asked about the mechanism for sending summons. This process is usually carried out by investigators a few days before the specified time.

The proof is that other witnesses in the same case as Hasto have also fulfilled the examination the day before or Thursday, July 18. Even though the letter was submitted at the same time.

"I received information from investigators that there was a witness who was simultaneously summoned in the DJKA case, so the summons was carried out together and the witness was present yesterday (Thursday, ed)," said Tessa, Friday, July 19.

"Meanwhile, Mr. HK today (Friday, July 19) was not present," he added.

Tessa said witness summons would not just happen. However, he did not deny that delays from the party who sent the letter could happen.

"For a reasonable mechanism, of course, it takes about three days, yes, that delivery. In the city, it is usually faster to send via courier or post or other expedition services but it can be hampered there," explained the spokesman with the investigator's background.

So, for those who feel they have just received a summons, they should be able to confirm by calling the number listed. "Reschedule or reschedule can be done. So you don't have to be present that day, unless you really want to be present," he said.

"But of course it will be judged. If there are facts that have just been accepted today, yes, they can be rescheduled without having to make a second call," continued Tessa.

As previously reported, the KPK summoned PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto in the bribery case of the Ministry of Transportation's DJKA (Kemenhub). He was questioned on Friday, July 19.

Hasto in the witness examination schedule was written in his capacity as a consultant. The distribution was in accordance with his recorded work.

However, Hasto was not present at the KPK's Red and White Building. The chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP who is also a lawyer, Ronny Talapessy, claimed that his client could not attend because he had just received a summons and there had been an event that was scheduled beforehand.

"The invitation to clarify Mas Hasto as a witness cannot be fulfilled because he just received information on the call this morning while there is already another schedule for activities today," said Ronny who is also Hasto's lawyer to reporters in a written statement, Friday, July 19.
