Previously, Megawati again gave satire to KPK investigator AKBP Rossa Purbo Bekti who had examined PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto regarding the Harun Masiku case.

"Who are you Rossa? Don't just you, KPK, I'm not afraid, gile you," said Megawati when giving a political speech at the Perindo Mukernas event at Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta at the end of July. According to Megawati, Rossa's examination of Hasto at the KPK was full of irregularities. In fact, he said, KPK investigators should have worked according to the rules. Megawati reiterated that she was involved in the formation of a number of legal institutions, such as the Constitutional Court (MK) and the KPK.

"Who made the Constitutional Court? It's true, if you don't believe it, it's the KPK that made me," said Megawati. It's just that, he said, law enforcement is currently easily intervened by power. Megawati also suspects that her close people are being targeted. Megawati feels that this step was taken because no one dares to face her directly. "I don't dare to take her. The targets are around me," said Megawati.
