JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensures that studies related to financial assistance funds for political parties (parpol) from the APBN and APBD will be important input in the process of revising the Election Law which is included in the national legislation program (Prolegnas).
"KPK hopes that the study we are currently conducting can be an insight or input in the preparation of the Election Law," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo in his statement, Wednesday, May 21.
Budi emphasized that the KPK had conducted a previous study on the rational calculation of political party funds. However, this approach is now being expanded to map the potential for corruption sourced from high political costs, both pre-election, during elections, and after elections.
"We want to see comprehensively, including the potential misuse of the state budget for electoral purposes," he explained regarding the KPK's study on political party funds.
In the study process, the KPK has discussed with various institutions, including KPU, Bawaslu, and DKPP. In addition, the KPK will also involve the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, experts, and other stakeholders.
