The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has questioned the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto regarding his meeting with the former Director of Railway Infrastructure at the DJKA of the Ministry of Transportation Harno Trimadi.

However, he did not elaborate further because the information obtained was included in the investigation material. “Yes, it's true today that investigators asked for information from HK. The information we got from investigators was related to the clarification of the meeting between HK's brother and Harno's brother,” said Tessa to reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, August 20.
