In fact, Lower House of State for Development Expenditure


Strangeness in the budgeting function when addressing the House of Representatives Budget of the State with the government, could be seen every year. One is when the Parliament discussed the eyes of the state budget for development expenditure.

In the State Budget (Budget) in 2012, the government proposed development expenditure amounting to Rp 477.5 trillion. But after a discussion with the House, it reduced the amount of development expenditure to Rp 456.6 trillion.

The Coordinator of the Indonesian Parliamentary Monitoring Society (Formappi) Sebastian Salang, this oddity is actually very evident since the turn discussed the draft budget for development expenditure, cut back the House. But after the budget was passed, and by mid-year, the House discussed the Budget changes, then re-development expenditure increases.

In the Revised 2012, development expenditure to Rp 521 trillion. "The new parliament to change the development expenditure in the revised Budget. Why do during the discussion of the revised Budget, when the time is very short, towards the end of the fiscal year. This is strange.'s Why a lot of fictitious projects. Fact that corruption projects, the most since the current budget can be revised budget. This is a mode of cheating in the discussion of the budget, "said Sebastian.

According to him, had no intention of cheating, should the value of development expenditure has been discussed since the state budget, has been raised by the House. Moreover, the development expenditure is in the public interest.

It's different when Parliament discusses routine for employees. Instead the government initially filed a routine expenditure (expenditure) in the 2012 budget amounting to Rp 476.6 trillion. But after a discussion with the House, its value instead jumped to Rp 508 trillion.
