Jakarta Post - December 13, 2013

All political parties except the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) were secretive about their financial reports, according to the Central Information Commission (KIP).

From the 12 parties contesting the 2014 elections, only the PDI-P was willing to be assessed by the KIP in a public institution transparency study.

The study, conducted between Oct. 7 and Dec. 4, assessed the level of transparency of institutions at the national and regional level using self-assessment questionnaires. "From the 12 political parties we gave the questionnaire to, only one submitted an answer," KIP chairman Abdulhamid Dipopramono said during the 2013 Public Information Transparency Awards at the Vice President's Office on Thursday.
