Jakarta – Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) on Thursday urged the Democratic Party to publicly reveal its financial reports from between 2010 and 2011.
ICW political corruption division researcher Apung Widadi said his organization had filed a complaint to the Democratic Party since it had received no response to an earlier request to see the documents.
Besides the Democratic Party, the watchdog also filed complaints to eight other parties, namely Golkar, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the United Development Party (PPP), the Greater Indonesian Movement Party (Gerindra) and the People's Conscience Party (Hanura) in regards to similar problems.
"We have waited for all the parties' financial reports on July 13, 10 days after we submitted our request, but there has been no response [from any of them] until now," Apung said as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that ICW would take the parties to the National Information Commission should they not reveal their financial reports within the next 30 days.
