Political dilemma in Indonesia: Political system is not able to stem the Political Corruption.

By: Muhammad Jusuf *

Just Indonesian General Elections Commission (KPU) receive a list of candidates for the House of Representatives (DPR) of the eleven political parties were entitled to the President and members of the House of Representatives election scheduled in 2014.

Since the political reform of the parliamentary elections in Indonesia are no longer determined leadership of political parties anymore, but directly by the people through elections. This process also applies to the selection of candidates for governor, regents and mayors.

Of the political system we expect to be produced leaders who are dedicated to clean and to empower of the people. But it turns out a lot of the Governor, and the Mayor,  Bupati (District Leader) including members of the House of corruption cases that ensnared both snared by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), police or prosecutors.

Not unexpectedly snagged them much law as a corruption suspect. This supposedly happened (I use the term supposedly, because this information be confirmed by the Commission, the Police and the Prosecutor) because this information is based on a story I interview from the candidates themselves, member of advisor (successful team), as well as other memer of the community. Beginning the process to become governor, regent, mayor or late, big enough legislators ring, and so when they served as Governor, the Mayor and members of the House are tempted to seek fast-track (Corruption) which returns the funds to have them remove it, or to restore the debt- debt of a third party for daring to capitalize candidates with debt.

Usually when a candidate is a cadre of the political party is not as big as the funds must be spent if the candidate does not come from a political party.

If a candidate wants to be advanced Regents have carried pilitik party that has seats in the DPR (house of representative) or DPRD (local house of representative) . So far before a kandidai enroll in the Commission or the Election Commission should have the support of a political party that has enough seats in Parliament or Parliament. If one party does not have enough seats, then a candidate will be chasing another party ngak although smaller parties have a seat, because the accumulation of the votes can be counted on to be chair.

How much money should be spent in order to elect a candidate to be promoted by the political parties. Usually the process of selecting candidates for governor, regent, mayor keep track synthetically by congress or some sort of party line process procedures Fit and Proper test. But this is supposedly a mere formality, even though the candidate has revealed its vision and mission in the meeting or congress party anyway they like tender beef trade, for example if there is a candidate for Regent agreed to pay Rp 25 billion for his nomination to be a regent, although candidates are Vice Regent of cadres parties concerned, still another candidate who could only half or a third will fall.

Not to mention spending money should be spent to'' buy "other smaller parties.
Not only that, a candidate also usually spend a lot of money to take care of the people though wrapped charity aids for example groceries (rice, sugar, coffee, etc.) for victims of floods, or other social events, not to mention a case of spending on advertising billboards, posters are plastered everywhere long before the official campaign were permitted.

Why would a candidate dare to spend so much money, if not the coveted title field is'' soft'' corruption. Not surprisingly, a governor, regent or mayor who has served two terms (10 years) in the elections (elections) should be next because no longer to be elected  again willing to be nominated again be Vice, or even pushing his wife, even relatives such as children, to be a candidate replace him , so that continuity is maintained corruption.

This is the dilemma of corruption in Indonesia, the political system as well as any gaps to violate, because corruption not only involves the Governors, Regents, Mayors and anngota DPR, DPRD, but even involves has penetrated to the law enforcement agency and the superintendent of the election itself, including reputedly the elements in the Ministry of Education and Culture, which legalized a candidate even without ever stepping on the school bench, but dilololoskan Commission / Election Commission, because school diploma (including package) has been legally certified.
