PRESS RELEASE

DPR Allocates Rp 539 Billion for Recess Entitlements of DPR Member

Members of Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR for short) are set to enjoy budgetary entitlements totaling Rp 539 billion during fiscal year (Jan-Dec) 2012.  The bulk of the money will be made available for various categories of travel within members’ constituencies: firstly, 6 working visits per annum provided for in DPR standing orders (costing Rp 102 billion); second, working visits during the DPR’s four recesses in 2012 (costing Rp 357 billion); and, third, one individual visit per year by each member (at a total cost of Rp 22 billion).  In addition, DPR members will be allocated a total of Rp 57 billion as so called “aspiration funds”—money to be divided up among members for expenditure in their constituencies to meet local community aspirations.  The following table summarizes the funding breakdown.

On the basis of the above information, Seknas FITRA asks that budget allocations for DPR recesses in 2012 be reduced.  FITRA hopes that such funding will be one of the allocations that are pared back to a minimum in the mid-year revised State budget.  FITRA regards these allocations as extravagant and wasteful, given that thus far many activities of DPR members during parliamentary recesses have been ceremonial in nature, boring for constituents and of no benefit to anybody.  This is a truly worrying situation.

Sumber seknas FITRA diolah dari Keppres 32 tahun 2011 tentang rincian anggaran belanja pemerintah pusat tahun anggaran 2012 Dari gambaran diatas, kami dari seknas FITRA meminta agar alokasi anggaran Reses dikurangi, dan moga-moga salah satu yang alokasi anggarannya diminimalkan dalam DIPA Perubahaan 2012 dewan. Selain itu, anggaran ini terlalu mahal dan mubajir, karena selama ini anggota reses dewan, kegiatannya banyak bersifat seremonial yang hanya membosankan konstituensi, dan tidak bermanfaat kepada siapa-siapa. Dan ini sungguh sangat prihatin. Jakarta, 10 April 2012 Uchok Sky Khadafi Kordinator Investigasi dan Advokasi FITRA HP.08121000774
