JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Leadership Council (DPN) of the Greater Indonesia Task Force (GETAR 08) Prabowo-Gibran, Jimmy Rol Tonar expressed his opinion that granting amnesty to Hasto Kristiyanto and abolition to Tom Lembong was a political intrigue of President Prabowo Subianto. He considered amnesty and abolition as the president's decision to spread happiness to welcome the 80th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia.
It's not about embracing or not embracing. Right, it's better (the purpose of amnesty and abolition) towards this 80th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Indonesia. We are happy, happy, cool right. Just look there, Mr. Prabowo jogging-jogging too," said Jimmy while talking to Eddy Wijaya on the EdShareOn podcast which aired on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
According to Jimmy, granting amnesty and abolition is the privilege of a president. So it is natural to do it according to applicable regulations. The recipients have been punished. So that by August 17, 2025, 80 years of Indonesia's independence, some have received amnesty and abolition," he said.
The granting of amnesty to Hasto Kristiyanto and abolition to Tom Lembong has become a hot topic of conversation for the community lately. Both are associated with political figures who became 'against' President Prabowo in the 2024 presidential election. Hasto, the former Secretary General of the PDI-P, promoted Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Tom Lembong is Anies Baswedan's success team. This brings up this allegation of political policy to embrace all parties who have often been considered opposition.
Jimmy said President Prabowo's policy of granting amnesty and abolition to the two figures had a greater goal, namely unity and integrity on the day of independence. But it does not mean to remove the opposition from the government. "Since the beginning, he (President Prabowo) has said that a large country, a successful leader must be national reconciliation. All high-ranking leaders, leaders or leaders of this republic are united, if not united, it is difficult," said the post-graduate lecturer at Hasanuddin University (UNHAS) Makassar.
Jimmy hopes that President Prabowo's opponents will compete in the 2024 presidential election and pray for the government in carrying out its duties for the welfare of the Indonesian people. "I also propose Pak Anies, Cak Imin, Pak Ganjar and Pak Mahfud unite to build this republic," said the Secretary General of the Indonesian Eastern Region Development Acceleration Agency (BP2KTI).
GETAR 08 Eksis Supervise Development And Ready To Guard The 2029 Presidential Election
Chairman of DPN GETAR 08 Prabowo-Gibran, Jimmy Rol Toral, emphasized that his organizational activities will continue until now even though the 2024 presidential election has passed. According to him, the Prabowo-Gibran volunteer Community Organization (Ormas) was assigned to contribute to development progress in Indonesia.
"Because he is a legal entity, he (GETAR 08) still exists, continues. What is his job? We have been ordered, supervise development, you serve the nation and state, do good, create ideas and ideas, convey it to the government," said Jimmy. Like the national management of roads, districts/cities, road provinces, our troops are all there," he added.
The politician who was born in Manado, January 29, 1962 explained, GETAR 08 is not only active in state development but also loyal to President Prabowo. This is sustainable, isn't it. In the next 5 years there will be a presidential election, GETAR 08 supports Pak Prabowo again," he said.
Jimmy added, GETAR 08 is not only formed domestically and even spreads abroad which has many Indonesians. What I see in Australia, many states and in America (GETAR 08 abroad), and they report what GETAR 08 is making overseas," Jimmy said.
GETAR 08 was first confirmed at the Prabowo volunteer winning house, Jalan Imam Bonjol Number 25, Menteng, Central Jakarta, on Thursday, September 28, 2023. GETAR 08 gathered the strength of volunteers to the regions to campaign for Prabowo-Gibran's programs.
