JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, stated that his party was open to being audited in response to the incident of the wrong transfer of recess funds which was in the public spotlight.
He stated that the DPR is committed to continuing to improve the transparency and accountability of financial management of legislative institutions.
"DPR is open to public audits and surveillance. We make sure all funds are used according to the rules," said Dasco, quoted Monday, October 13.
Reportedly, the recess funds that should have been received per member amounted to Rp702 million, up to Rp756 million this October.
Although he did not disclose the number of DPR members who received an excess transfer of Rp. 54 million, Dasco emphasized that all funds have now returned to their proper cash so as not to cause state losses.
"There were some members, but not many then they made the wrong transfer so that the recess funds increased by Rp. 54 million. And it was immediately in the backbit by the secretariat general," said Dasco.
Dasco explained that in May 2025, DPR members received a recess of 400 million. However, there are proposed increases for several components and points to Rp702 million.

In the proposal, it was stated that the addition of IDR 54 million was the allocation of the allowance that had been canceled at the end of last August.
"It has been proposed from January 2025, but because it was only approved in May 2025, from January to May it still uses Rp. 400 million," explained Dasco.
Dasco emphasized that the nominal was not sent every month to members but only during recess. The proposal for the increase, said Dasco, has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and applies to members of the DPR for the period 2024-2029 starting in May.
"Not every month, yes, this is the recess. So indeed we are not going up but there are additional indexes and additional points," he concluded.
