Member of Commission XIII DPR RI from the PKS faction, Yanuar Arif Wibowo, assessed that President Prabowo Subianto's decision to grant amnesty to PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and abolition to former Trade Minister Tom Lembong was the right state step.
"The President's decision to grant this subscription and amnesty is a tangible manifestation of statesmanship. He saw this case clearly, without intervention in the ongoing judicial process," Yanuar told reporters, Friday, August 1.
It is known that Hasto Kristiyanto was a defendant in a bribery case related to the interim replacement (PAW) of DPR members who dragged Harun Masiku's name, and was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison. Meanwhile, Tom Lembong was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison in a corruption case of sugar imports.
Yanuar emphasized that the President's decision did not immediately intervene in the legal process, because the granting of abolitions and amnesty was carried out after all stages of the law were completed.
"Only after the entire legal process is complete, the President uses his authority constitutionally," he said.
He also appreciated the Minister of Law and Human Rights for initiating the proposal and the Indonesian House of Representatives who responded quickly by approving the President's request.
This quick decision signifies the commitment and collaboration in reading the direction of state policy represented by President Prabowo, "said Yanuar, who came from the Central Java VIII electoral district.
