JAKARTA - The move by the Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait to hold a competition to find a fugitive in a corruption case, Harun Masiku, was appreciated by Deputy Chairman of the KPK Johanis Tanak. This step is even called worthy of an award.

Maruarar is known to have held a competition with a prize money of Rp. 8 billion for anyone who managed to arrest Harun Masiku, a fugitive in the bribery case for the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives.

"He certainly deserves or deserves to be an example and he deserves an award, his attitude is certainly worthy or worthy of being an example and he deserves an award," Johanis said when contacted by reporters, Thursday, November 28.

Johanis said Maruarar deserves an award for wanting to give his wealth to arrest the perpetrators of corruption. In fact, the anti-corruption commission is also conducting searches at the same time.

"Only he wants to sacrifice his property so that the perpetrators of corruption crimes who run away can be arrested and processed according to legal provisions," he said.

Maruarar Sirait's statement about the competition was also busy after a 1 minute 21 video circulated on social media X. The former PDI-P politician (PDIP) initially offended PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto who admitted to sending his father's book, Sabam Sirait with the title 'Political It's Holy'.

"I haven't received the 'Political' book yet. Please, we accept it, from Mas Hasto and I am very happy if I can get it and make me more enthusiastic," said Maruarar in the video.

Maruarar said the book would certainly ignite his enthusiasm. One of them is to move the network to find Harun Masiku, who is still at large.

"And I also do, I will use energy to help and move my network, for example, there is one big case that I see will involve big people in this republic, which concerns Harun Masiku," he said.

"Who is Harun Masiku, how come he hasn't been arrested for years, huh. I will give a bonus for those who can catch Harun Masiku, IDR 8 billion in my personal money. Yes, so that enthusiasm, so that in this country who are above the law, and I use the blessings of God to eradicate corruption in Indonesia," said Maruarar.

"Come on, Mas Hasto, we are looking for it together. So that it is clear, why Harun Masiku can be lost, who has lost it, what case is behind him, what he is taking care of. Yes, Mas Hasto, politics is sacred, defending the weak, and uncovering large closed cases. Independence!" he insisted closing the video.
