"He looks like anus mba, he left from the Democrats. The gang is next door. So he's really trying to live with our group. But that doesn't mean he's clean very much," said Wahyu.
"So if it's a bit of a jaim for him?" asked Agustina.
"Jaim, Jaim. Honestly, Mba, I ... the secretary general wants to meet it is not right. If it's not like that, we will even make fun of the Secretary General," Wahyu replied.
"Yes, especially since the letter has been issued," said Agustiani.
"Let's just say, the situation is, he doesn't want to. I'm afraid that we have been trusted by the Secretary General, you are still the pride of the Secretary General of Mba. Try to communicate with Saeful, revelation is still ready to bring it together. But revelations are worried that even if you meet Mr. Arief doesn't want to, pity the Secretary General," said Wahyu.
Hasto was charged with obstructing the investigation by ordering Harun, through the Aspiration House guard, Nur Hasan, to submerge Harun's cell phone into the water after the arrests by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) against members of the General Election Commission (KPU) for the 2017-2022 period, Wahyu Setiawan.
