Bandar Lampung – Budget use transparency by the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Elections Supervisory Committee (Panwaslu) as well as regent candidates during regional elections must be monitored.
It has been agreed that the limit of campaign fund in five regencies in Lampung Province that will hold regional elections in 2017 is Rp70.7 billion.
Lampung Information Commission (KPU) chairman Dery Hendryan said people must know about the amount of budget for the elections because it is public information.
He also said all candidates must publish the use of budget in details through various means, such as advertisement, official websites and social media. The information will enable the public to monitor the elections.
Pringsewu Regency KPU chairman A. Andoyo said that KPU will be transparent and publish everything related to election funds. He added that there will be a national meeting regarding KPU’s budget in the near future in Bali.
“We also publish campaign funds that have been agreed by KPU and candidate pairs. We also just received wealth reports of candidates from KPK that we can upload to our website,” he said.
