KUDUS - The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) did not find any problems in the audit report (LHP) of financial assistance for political parties (parpol). The Kudus Regency Government then invited the political parties that won seats in the council to apply for the disbursement of financial aid funds.

"Previously, political parties in Kudus had urged that the disbursement of political aid funds (Banpol) be accelerated. However, because we are still waiting for the results of the LHP by the BPK, we have not been able to fulfill it," said Head of the National and Political Unity Office of Kudus Regency, Harso Widodo in Kudus, Sunday 8 May.

For now, he said, 10 political parties that won seats could apply for the first phase of disbursement, after the BPK report found no records from the LHP of each political party receiving financial assistance for the 2021 fiscal year.

With the results of the BPK examination, his party also made a circular letter to be given to each political party administrator in Kudus.
