        "summary": "The National Awakening Party (PKB) has stated that the division of cadre levels should be handled internally by each political party, rather than imposed externally. This response comes after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) proposed restructuring party memberships into junior, intermediate, and senior categories to improve cadre development and reduce entry costs that could lead to political corruption. PKB emphasises the need to strengthen parties' own cadre systems to ensure consistency and alignment with their visions.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Awakening Party (PKB) states that the\ndivision of cadre levels is better left to the internal mechanisms of\npolitical parties. \u201cRegarding the levels and types of cadres, it is\nbetter left to each political party,\u201d said the Secretary General of the\nPKB Central Executive Board, M. Hasanuddin Wahid, when contacted by\nANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday. According to him, every political party\nalready has its own membership progression and cadre development system\ntailored to the party\u2019s vision and mission. Therefore, he said, what is\nmore important at this time is to strengthen political parties to remain\nsteadfast or consistent in conducting tiered cadre development. He made\nthis statement following the Corruption Eradication Commission\u2019s (KPK)\nproposal to change political party memberships in Indonesia into junior,\nintermediate, and senior members. The KPK conveyed this proposal in line\nwith findings that political party cadre development is not running\nwell, leading to entry fees for individuals to become party cadres and\nbe endorsed in general elections. Therefore, in its study, the KPK\nproposes improvements to the political party cadre system to suppress\nsuch costs, while also preventing efforts to recoup political\ninvestments by newcomers who join the party and become cadres due to\ncertain political expenses. To support effective cadre development, the\nKPK proposes dividing party members into junior, intermediate, and\nsenior categories. In addition, the KPK proposes that candidates for the\nHouse of Representatives (DPR) must be senior party cadres, while\ncandidates for Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD) members must be\nintermediate cadres.<\/p>",
