JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said there were 10 points that must be immediately improved in the party's governance system. One of them, there is no special supervisory agency related to kaderisasi to political education.
"The lack of a special supervisory agency in the process of kaderisasi, political education, and party financial management increases the risk of deviation," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo through his written statement quoted on Monday, April 27.
In addition, there is no integrated political education roadmap between the government and political parties. This condition, causes the weakening of the recruitment process and the party's kaderization system which is the trigger for the practice of political dowry.
Next, what is in the spotlight of the anti-corruption commission regarding party governance is the lack of a standardized system for reporting the finances of political parties. This condition results in weak transparency and accountability in the use of funds.
"Not to mention, the findings on the amount of the winning costs that must be incurred by the participants of the elections and the regional elections," said Budi.
"The high cost of politics encourages transactional practices in the process of candidacy for prospective members of the legislature and regional heads, including the emergence of political dowry and the potential for misuse of resources after the candidate is elected," he continued.
Furthermore, the KPK also found indications of bribery to election organizers aimed at manipulating electoral results. "In addition, there are still gaps in the recruitment and selection process for election and gubernatorial organizers that are not optimal," said Budi.
"So it has the potential to give birth to organizers who are not integral. Law enforcement for violations of elections and regional elections is also considered not to have run optimally," he said.
Then, the KPK also highlighted the use of cash in election contests is still very dominant because there is no regulation limiting cash transactions. This condition is considered to increase the opportunity for vote buying or money politics which has long been a classic problem in electoral democracy.
Regarding the study related to party governance, Budi said, the KPK through the Directorate of Monitoring in the Department of Prevention and Monitoring collaborated with four groups of sources. They are representatives of parliamentary and non-parliamentary political parties; organizers of elections and elections; electoral experts or observers; and academics.
"The urgency of mitigating the potential for political corruption is part of the effort to improve the systemic system in strategic sectors," explained Budi.
"The KPK itself has reported and officially conveyed the results of the study and the points of recommendation to the President and the Chairman of the House of Representatives (DPR) as a form of a report to encourage that the reform of the political system can be immediately realized."
