KPK Proposes Political Parties Must Report State-Funded Political Education Activities
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has proposed that political parties be required to report political education activities funded by state financial assistance.
The proposal was presented by the KPK in its study on political party governance.
In the report, the KPK identified four points, one of which is the lack of a roadmap for implementing political education and the absence of a political party financial reporting system.
“The KPK recommends that the initiators of amendments to Law No. 2 of 2011 (Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Law and Human Rights) and the DPR (Commission II and Legislation Body) supplement Article 34 by adding a clause on the obligation to report political education activities, covering the activities, participants, objectives, and outputs conducted by political parties funded by government financial assistance,” stated the KPK’s Monitoring Directorate on Friday (17/4/2026).
Based on this, the KPK recommends several points to the government, particularly the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri).
Here are the KPK’s recommendations:
The initiators of amendments to Law No. 2 of 2011 (Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Law and Human Rights) and the DPR (Commission II and Legislation Body) supplement Article 34 by adding a clause on the obligation to report political education activities, covering the activities, participants, objectives, and outputs conducted by political parties funded by government financial assistance.
The Ministry of Home Affairs revises Ministerial Regulation No. 36 of 2018 and No. 36 of 2010 to regulate the curriculum content for political education as a reference for political parties.
The development of integrated curriculum materials and reporting systems by the Ministry of Home Affairs becomes part of the Ministry’s duties as a supervisor in accordance with the revision of Article 46 of Law No. 2 of 2008.
The need to add to the revision of Article 29 of Law No. 2 of 2011:
Encouraging political parties to implement the Constitutional Court Decision No. 60/PUU-XXII/2024 on the minimum threshold for regional head elections through the recruitment of regional head candidates based on cadre development.
To ensure cadre development proceeds, regulations are needed to limit the leadership of the party general chairman to a maximum of two terms of office.
