Election campaign funds<\/p>\n
I fully concur with statements made by Sofyan Wanandi and
\nMarie Pangestu that the funds for the election campaign collected
\nfrom the community by the political parties and the functional
\ngroup Golkar should be reported publicly with regard to amount,
\norigin and use.<\/p>\n
It is important to safeguard honesty and discipline in the
\ncommunity and to prevent corruption and collusion. The community
\nneeds to know if the method of collection is acceptable or if
\nthere is a connection with businessmen who will get facilities
\nfrom the parties and Golkar. We often hear that for government
\nprojects funded by the state budget, contractors and suppliers
\nhave to pay a certain percentage.<\/p>\n
It would be a good thing if the government and the House of
\nRepresentatives pass a law or a regulation on the collection of
\nfunds for election campaigns by the election participants, as is
\nthe case in advanced countries like the United States. The funds
\nfor election campaigns must have a reasonable limit.<\/p>\n
For example, businessmen should not have to worry that if they
\ndo not contribute funds, they will not obtain facilities. An
\nimportant thing not to be overlooked is that the contribution of
\nfunds may be the cause of a high-cost economy. If so, the small
\npeople also become victims.<\/p>\n
