Chairman of the DPP for the honor of PDIP Komarudin Watubun admitted that he was surprised by the news of the appointment of PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto as a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Moreover, the determination was made ahead of Christmas Day celebrations.

"I am also surprised to hear the news, especially tomorrow is the day that Hasto celebrates Christmas, which should bring peace to his followers. Including Hasto must also feel the peace of Christmas," said Komarudin when confirmed, Tuesday, December 24.

"However, it is unfortunate that this did not happen to Hasto," he continued.

In plain view, Komarudin assessed that the determination of Hasto as a suspect was a legal process wrapped in political engineering.

"Therefore, to all cadres and sympathizers from sabang to Merauke from the island of Miangas to the island of rote, never be afraid. Unite ranks under the command of the general chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri! Remember the theme of our struggle, satyam eva Jayate," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK named PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto as a suspect in the Harun Masiku case. This is known from a source who named Hasto as a suspect in the notification letter for the start of the investigation.

In the letter, it was stated that the investigation warrant or sprindik for determining the suspect Hasto was Sprin.Dik/153/DIK.00/01/12/2024 dated December 23, 2024.

Hasto was named a suspect after the case exposure on December 20, 2024 or after the new KPK leadership took an oath of office before President Prabowo Subianto.

It was also stated in the letter that Hasto as the bribe giver with Harun Masiku to former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan was suspected of being related to interim changes or PAW members of the DPR.
