JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the proposal in various studies, including the presidential and vice presidential candidates as well as regional heads, should be political party cadres because of the conditions on the ground. This proposal is also ensured to still refer to the applicable constitution.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about his agency's proposal that it had the opportunity to make a candidate without a party who could not run in the election.

"For now, we of course still refer to the applicable constitution. So, the KPK study is a policy brief, yes, like a study that captures a condition and then diagnoses from that condition, what the problem is then," Budi told reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Tuesday, April 28.

Budi said that this kaderization must be improved in terms of party governance. However, he said that the anti-corruption commission was open if there were parties who wanted to discuss the proposal that was in the spotlight.

"Of course we are open to the opportunity to discuss further, discuss further related to the results and recommendations of the study. This also applies to several studies that the KPK has conducted in several other strategic sectors," he said.

Moreover, the study related to party governance has been submitted by his party to a number of stakeholders.

"Well, in the process, there is certainly the possibility of further discussion to formulate what the right follow-up is to take steps to improve, especially in this context, is in the political sector," said Budi.

As previously reported, the KPK released the results of the Monitoring Directorate's study. One of them is related to the proposed revision of Law Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties.

In its study, the KPK Monitoring Directorate proposed requirements for prospective candidates for president/vice president/regional head/vice regional head other than democratic and open, adding clauses derived from the party's kaderisasi system.

In addition, the anti-corruption commission also added a requirement for a minimum time limit to join a party to be nominated by a party.

When confirmed, Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK, Aminuddin, said that the study from the KPK Monitoring Directorate was intended so that the party could know the quality of the candidate being carried.

"Ideally, the party's proposal to become public officials is the party's cadre so that the purpose of party cadre is to form qualified leaders and their track record is known by the carrying party," Aminuddin told VOI, quoted on Saturday, April 24.

While asked about the proposal, which has both pros and cons, Aminuddin did not answer further. He only emphasized that the condition was very normal but the goal was actually good.

"Yes, there will be pros and cons, but the purpose of the study recommendation is for something better."
