Markus Junianto Sihaloho – Transparency International Indonesia on Wednesday slammed all the major political parties for refusing to divulge how they financed their campaigns for this year's elections.

Teten Masduki, secretary general of TII, pointed the finger specifically at the Democratic Party, Golkar Party, Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), People's Conscience Party (Hanura), National Mandate Party (PAN), Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and National Awakening Party (PKB).

"All of the parties refused when TII's researchers suggested they disclose their annual financial reports," he said. "Some companies reported giving donations to the parties. They too declined to answer when researchers tried to get further confirmation."

TII's research also found that none of the parties published their financial reports on their party Web sites, which may be a breach of election laws.

Antigraft activists have long questioned loopholes in the 2007 and 2008 laws governing elections linked to the reporting of campaign funding, limitations on donations and public access to reports on campaigning activities.
