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
