Dream - Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) Hasyim Asy'ari speaks up after the moment of celebrating his birthday was also celebrated together with the Deputy Secretary General (Wasekjen) of PSI, Marsha Siagian, went viral on social media. Hasyim admitted that there was a birthday cake at that time. However, he mentioned that the cake was prepared by himself.

Head of the News Division (Kabag) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Ali Fikri, said that the giving of a cake by Marsha Siagian to the Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) has the potential to become one form of gratification, as it is suspected that there is an interest involved. "It is clear that there is (potential gratification), one thing is clearly a conflict of interest. It is very clear because it is within the authority of the KPU and this party is aligned," said Ali.

"If later gratification is giving something but hoping that someday he can help, for example. He can help the person concerned, what are his interests, ah that's gratification," he added. According to Ali, the cake should have been distributed to parties who are more in need because it is considered more beneficial."

Therefore, he encourages the Chairman of the KPU, Hasyim Asy'ari, to immediately report the alleged gratification to the KPK if it turns out to be true. "So when receiving anything related to that, it should be reported to the KPK. As for the food earlier, it will be distributed to the orphanage and so on, it could be like that, it could be done like that," he concluded.
