        "summary": "Dr Hurriyah from the University of Indonesia's Centre for Political Studies has called for a blacklist mechanism to prevent former members of election selection committees (Pansel) proven to have engaged in money politics from being reselected. She emphasised the need for zero tolerance towards such practices and advocated for a comprehensive database of integrity-tested individuals with deep knowledge of Indonesia's electoral system. Additionally, Hurriyah proposed adopting a talent scouting approach for Pansel recruitment to ensure the selection of the most qualified and ethical candidates, thereby enhancing the integrity of national and regional election bodies.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Director of the University of Indonesia\u2019s\nCentre for Political Studies (Puskapol UI) and senior lecturer in the\nDepartment of Political Science at UI, Dr Hurriyah, S.Sos, is pushing\nfor the establishment of a blacklist mechanism so that former members of\nthe election selection committee (Pansel) who have been legally proven\nto be involved in money politics practices are not selected again as\nPansel members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoney politics must not be tolerated; zero tolerance, and there must\nbe a blacklist mechanism. Do not let a Pansel who, for example,\npreviously had a record of money politics be selected again,\u201d said\nHurriyah at the General Elections Commission (KPU) office in Jakarta on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n<p>She conveyed this during a public discussion titled \u201cReforming the\nRecruitment of Election Organisers\u201d held at the KPU office in\nJakarta.<\/p>\n<p>She assessed that such a mechanism is necessary to ensure that the\nPansel, which will select election organisers at the national and\nregional levels, consists of individuals with integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause so far, it has not been well documented. For example, when a\nPansel knows that a fellow Pansel is engaging in money politics, they\nmight directly contact the commissioners at the central level,\u201d she\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>Hurriyah emphasised that it is not just about the blacklist, but also\nabout compiling a database of figures who have a deep understanding of\nIndonesia\u2019s electoral system and possess integrity.<\/p>\n<p>She also urged that Pansel recruitment be conducted through a talent\nscouting mechanism, with the aim of finding the best individuals to sit\non the Pansel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA talent scouting mechanism for Pansel recruitment is also needed.\nSo, there should be a clear database of track records\u2014who they are, what\ntheir backgrounds are. It is not enough to just have a Pansel background\nof minimum age 30, then a bachelor\u2019s degree and so on. Knowledge of\nelections, in my opinion, is very important and primary,\u201d she\nexplained.<\/p>",
