He highlighted that parties receive Rp1,000 per valid vote from elections, totalling Rp126 billion in 2023, yet fail to provide adequate reports on expenditures, including political education programmes. The KPK's initiative aims to curb internal party corruption and prevent cadres in public office from engaging in graft, amid numerous cases of lawmakers and officials being apprehended for corruption.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Political analyst and Executive Director of the\nIndonesia Political Review (IPR) Iwan Setiawan believes that political\nparties (parpol) must be transparent and accountable in their use of the\nState Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). He made this statement in\nresponse to the KPK\u2019s proposal to revise Law No.\u00a02 of 2011 on Political\nParties, which calls for improvements in party finances through\nintegration with the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) system. \u201cIn\nmy view, anything related to the APBN must be reported in an accountable\nand responsible manner,\u201d he told ANTARA when contacted in Jakarta on\nFriday. He revealed that political parties receive financial assistance\nfrom the APBN amounting to Rp1,000 per valid vote from general elections\n(pemilu). \u201cThese funds are provided proportionally based on the number\nof votes obtained. The total central-level party assistance funds in\n2023 reached Rp126 billion,\u201d he disclosed. Furthermore, Iwan stated that\npolitical parties have yet to provide details on the use of APBN funds,\nincluding agendas for political education for party cadres. \u201cBased on\nthe KPK\u2019s statement, it turns out that political parties have not yet\nproduced adequate accountability reports regarding the APBN funds used,\nincluding for political education,\u201d he said. He also explained that the\nproposal concludes that political education by parties, both internal\nand for the public, has not been running effectively and does not meet\ncredible reporting standards. The KPK, he added, aims to curb corruption\npractices within parties and by party cadres when serving as state\nofficials, drawing from the many party cadres caught red-handed for\ncorruption. \u201cBecause to date, many members of the House of\nRepresentatives (DPR) and state officials have become KPK patients due\nto being caught engaging in corrupt practices,\u201d Iwan stated.<\/p>",
