Not Attending KPK Calls For Leading Pilkada Meeting, Hasto PDIP: Sorry

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto did not attend the summons of the KPK (VOI/Wardhany Tsa Tsia).

The Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP), Hasto Kristiyanto, apologized to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for not fulfilling the summons as a witness in the DJKA bribery case at the Ministry of Transportation. He said he did not know that there was a letter addressed to him.

Initially, Hasto explained that the driver had actually received the summons. However, he did not receive information because he was in Yogyakarta.

"At that time I was on duty in Yogyakarta (and a letter, ed.) was received by our driver. Then there was no report so I didn't know," said Hasto to reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Saturday, July 20, 2024.

"So, yesterday we really apologize that we could not attend because yesterday I chaired the Pilkada meeting," he said.

Even though he was not present, Hasto admitted that he had looked at the statement of the Deputy Secretary General of PDIP, Yosep Aryo Adhie Dharmo, who was asked for information first regarding the DJKA corruption case.

"I personally have nothing to do with it," he said.

"There is no business. So, if I am referred to as a consultant, it is indeed on my ID card. You see, I used to work in a state-owned company whose scope was consulting," said the former member of the DPR RI.

Hasto confirmed that he would fulfill the summons of the Anti-corruption Commission later. However, he has not spoken when because his legal team is still investigating.

"We will attend because from the start we have a very big commitment to law enforcement and eradicating corruption," said Hasto.

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, 2024. Hasto in the witness examination schedule was written as a consultant. The distribution is in accordance with his recorded work. In addition, the Anti-corruption Commission has also summoned Hasto in the Harun Masiku case. He then fulfilled the investigator's summons on Monday, June 10, 2024.
