INDUSTRY.co.id - Kupang - Secretary General of PDI Perjuangan Hasto Kristiyanto stressed that his party has decided to revoke support for Marianus Sae (MS) to advance in Pilkada Serentak June 2018 as a candidate for governor of NTT 2018.

"There is an indication that Marianus Sae has double membership, so the party has been firm and attracts support to him," he said in a written statement received in Kupang on Monday (12/2/2018)

Hasto's statement came after Marianus was arrested by investigators of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Sunday (11/2), in Surabaya, East Java on suspicion of corruption.

Hasto expressed regret over the case experienced by MS. Whereas from the beginning, according to Hasto, the party of white snout bull has been confirmed to the cadres will not tolerate the cadre entangled corruption cases.

"We will accelerate the determination of serious disciplinary violations against Marianus," he said.

Hasto further said that Megawati Soekarnoputri's party in various activities always emphasizes mutual cooperation strategy to reduce expenditure or expense.

Hasto asserted that as long as he was in NTT to consolidate the winning Marianus Sae-Emilia Nomlani, MS was not even difficult to find contact.

PDIP Chairman Andres Hugo Parera also complained similarly. In fact, he also had time to call and send a message to Marianus but ignored.

"I have contacted Marianus Sae via phone or SMS, but there is absolutely no response from concerned," he said.

He also expressed his appreciation to the KPK, because the arrest was made before the determination of the would-be governor candidate of governor of NTT period 2018-2023 by KPU Nusa Tenggara Timur in Kupang on Monday.

"This capture will certainly close the concerned to carrying out further corrupt practices if elected as governor of NTT If this happens, it will be very troublesome to the people of NTT in the future," said Andreas.

Hasto hoped that the incident that happened to MS is not experienced by the candidates of district heads of PDI-P in 10 other districts that will be conducting Pilkada Serentak 2018 in NTT.
