JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, denied information that said PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri called President Prabowo Subianto regarding the examination of PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto at the KPK.

Dasco emphasized that there was nothing to do between Hasto and Prabowo's detention.

"There are several parties who ask the same thing, but I think that the authority in law enforcement is indeed by the KPK. So what might be asked or what happened today has certainly gone through a process that occurred there," said Dasco, Monday, January 13.

"So if there is a question (about Hasto), it has nothing to do with Pak Prabowo or Gerindra," he continued.

The deputy chairman of the DPR also confirmed that Megawati had not yet called Megawati for Prabowo. Either related to this or other matters.

"Nothing yet, nothing yet," said Dasco.

The KPK has finished examining the Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto as a suspect in the alleged bribery in the management of interim replacement (PAW) for members of the DPR and the obstruction of today's investigation.

He was not detained because examinations of other witnesses still had to be carried out.

"The person concerned was not detained today because investigators still need time to examine several witnesses who are still not present and are still needed (his statement, ed)," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, January 13.

A number of witnesses who have not been present include Maria Lestari as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PDIP faction to PDIP cadre Saeful Bahri. This condition, continued Tessa, made investigators choose not to immediately detain Hasto.

"Investigators assess that there is no need for detention and of course if investigators and public prosecutors agree that the files are ready to be transferred, the process will continue," he said.
