        "summary": "The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has highlighted the need for a dedicated oversight body to monitor political party cadre development, education, and financial management to mitigate corruption risks. This recommendation stems from their 2025 study on corruption prevention in party governance, which identified issues like poor cadre processes leading to entry fees and lack of financial transparency. KPK proposes reforms including categorising members by age groups, restricting leadership terms to two periods, and ensuring electoral candidates are long-standing cadres to enhance accountability and reduce political costs.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deems\nit necessary to establish a special oversight body to specifically\nmonitor the cadre development process in political parties.<\/p>\n<p>KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo explained this view in line with the\nanti-corruption agency\u2019s findings during its study on corruption\nprevention in party governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe absence of a special oversight body for the cadre development\nprocess, political education, and party financial management increases\nthe risk of deviations,\u201d Budi told journalists in Jakarta on\nSaturday.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he said, the lack of standardised financial reporting for\nparties results in weak transparency and accountability in the use of\nfunds.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, in 2025, the KPK\u2019s Monitoring Directorate conducted a\nstudy on corruption prevention in party governance.<\/p>\n<p>In that study, the KPK presented several proposals related to\ncorruption prevention in the political parties sector.<\/p>\n<p>These KPK proposals were put forward alongside findings that party\ncadre development is not running well, leading to entry costs for\nindividuals to become party cadres and to be endorsed in general\nelections.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in its study, the KPK proposed improvements to the party\ncadre system to reduce such costs, while also preventing efforts to\nrecoup political investments by newcomers who join the party and become\ncadres due to certain political expenses.<\/p>\n<p>To support effective cadre development, the KPK proposed dividing\nparty members into young, middle, and senior categories.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the KPK proposed that candidates for House of\nRepresentatives (DPR) members should be senior party cadres. Meanwhile,\ncandidates for provincial DPRD members should be middle-level\ncadres.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as\nregional head and deputy head candidates, are proposed to come from the\nparty cadre system and must have been cadres for a certain period of\ntime.<\/p>\n<p>To support improvements in cadre development, the KPK also proposed\nregulations limiting the term of the party general chairman to a maximum\nof two periods of management.<\/p>",
