PAN Supports The Chairperson Of The KPK Regarding The Elimination Of The Presidential Threshold For Corruption Prevention Efforts

JAKARTA - Member of Commission II of the DPR RI from the PAN faction, Guspardi Gaus, supports the statement by the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri who said that the Presidential Threshold must be abolished in order to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Because, with the Presidential Threshold, democracy in the country is still characterized by high political costs. According to Guspardi, the presidential election which requires expensive political costs should be eliminated. Because he said, it is conceivable if there is a credible, integrity and great figure who wants to advance to become a candidate for the nation's leader but does not have sufficient capital.

"This is an opportunity for the oligarchs to sponsor figures who want to run in the presidential election. After the leader who finances it is elected, then the interests of the oligarchs must of course be accommodated so that the interests of other parties are held hostage to the practice of corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN), " said Guspardi to reporters, Monday, December 13.

Furthermore, the PAN politician assessed that the implementation of the presidential threshold system seemed to be an effort to limit the constitutional rights of the people in determining their candidate for leader. The presidential threshold also runs away from the spirit of reform because it does not open up democratic space to provide opportunities for the Indonesian people to choose the best candidate without the need to be regulated and selected first by a threshold mechanism. According to the legislator from West Sumatra, the abolition of the presidential threshold rule can also be a one way out is to prevent polarization in society. Because Guspardi said, do not let the democratic party that should be treated with joy, actually create a prolonged hostility among the nation's children.

Therefore, said this member of the Legislative Council of DPR, every political party should be given the constitutional right to nominate a presidential and vice-presidential pair.

"However, the experience of the 2019 presidential election contestation should be an important lesson that the determination of the presidential threshold has caused the people to be polarized into two opposing camps," said Guspardi.

As a result, he added, there were various divisions that led to persecution, slander, rampant hoaxes, and others. Then proceed with narratives that bring down opposing pairs or opposing camps.

"This kind of attitude can create horizontal and vertical conflicts that lead to acts of violence in the community," concluded Guspardi Gaus.

Previously, Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri mentioned the Presidential Threshold (PT) which is currently being discussed. It is known, there are a number of parties who are suing the Constitutional Court (MK). This he alluded to Firli Bahuri when giving material at the Silatnas and Bimtek event for members of the Provincial and Regency/City DPRD throughout Indonesia, the Perindo Party, which was held at the Jakarta Concert Hall. , Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, Friday, December 10. "Now people are still excited about what it is, sir, the parliamentary threshold, the presidential threshold. We should think now is not 20 percent, not 15 percent. But 0 percent and 0 rupiah. That's sir if we want to eradicate corruption," said Firli. According to Firli, with PT 0 percent and 0 rupiah, there is no democracy in Indonesia which is characterized by high political costs. This is because high political costs lead to transactional politics. In fact, in this transformed era of reform, openness is the spirit of democracy in Indonesia. With openness, said Firli, there should be no more gaps for corruption or transactionalism in a dark room and at night. "What does it mean? It means that after we are closed, everything should be transparent, everything is accountable, everything can be accounted for. There is no need for expensive, unnecessary politics," he said.
