Performance of the House of Representatives a report card pocket red throughout the year 2012.



Performance of the House of Representatives a report card pocket red throughout the year 2012. This proves the performance of the legislature is not optimal in the fight for people's aspirations. Indicators of poor performance of the legislature reflected from four aspects, namely the performance of legislative, budgetary, oversight and Honorary Board.

It was submitted by the coordinator of the Community Care Parliamentary Forum Indonesia (Formappi), Sebastian Salang in the exposure evaluation of the performance of the House of Representatives in 2012 at his office, Jakarta, Sunday (30/12/2012).

"The performance of the implementation of the three main functions, namely legislative, budgetary and administrative oversight procedurally run. However, substansialnya functional decline even tend to damage the image of the board of the institution," said Sebastian.

According to Sebastian, poor legislative performance is reflected in the productivity and the quality of law low. 2012 Target legislation by 64 bill, he said, only 10 bill is a priority in 2012. Achievement of it is also minimal with 1 priority bill of 2012 while 9 bill discussed in 2011.

"Four law (Election Law, Budget Law, Law on Social Conflict, and the Higher Education Act) from reaching the House of Representatives in 2012, also has been sued in the Constitutional Court because it contains a number of issues. Means that the poor quality," he said.

Meanwhile, aspects of the budget in the House, according to Sebastian, instead of corruption. That, he said, seen from the performance of the House who managed to push the 2012 budget additional revenues of approximately Rp 18 trillion. However, the budget is not to increase public spending but for routine expenditure of the central government.

"Politics is run the House budget still oriented on the project and their own interests and the government," he said.

Sebastian said the budget will lead to the political representatives of the people involved in corruption. During 2012, there were four representatives named as a suspect of corruption, namely Angelina Sondakh of the Democratic Party, Wa Ode Nurhayati of the PAN faction, EMIS Moeis of PDIP and Golkar Faction Djabar Zulkarnaen. It is clear that the political practice of the budget in the House used to enrich himself and cronies.

"Many council members allegedly involved in corruption, there is a KPK and his name was called by a number of witnesses. Yet their status is not clear," he said.

Meanwhile, the visible aspects of the House oversight work ineffective. According to Sebastian, monitoring the implementation of the legislation and the spending of the country far from expectations. This is evident from the number of cases of corruption control the use of the state budget. Exposure of corruption cases that the House but not by the performance of the Commission.

In addition, the House of Representatives during the year 2012 did not use the right of interpellation, inquiry and expression. In fact, this right is important in monitoring the performance of government. "It shows the controls used did not reach 50 percent. Fact, it did not work and ended up completely unclear," he said.

Meanwhile, the performance of the firm is not judged BK alone. During the year 2012, the Parliament of public scrutiny because of alleged ethics violations representatives. BK, he added, giving a light and no sanctions have a deterrent effect.

"Even the judge defending BK many colleagues. However essence, BK has not effectively enforce the image and honor of the House of Representatives," he said.

Sebastian suggested, in 2013 the Parliament should be more effective running the fourth aspect. In the aspect of lagislasi, Parliament must seriously and comprehensively evaluate Legilasi Program Agency (Prolegnas). According to him, Prolegnas must put legislation in favor of the people and not get caught up in the desire legislative or executive alone.

"To be efficient and effective, the discussion of the bill directly addressed by the relevant commission without having to go through the process of discussion in Baleg that takes time, energy and costs are very large," he said.

In a supervisory role, according to Sebastian, the House needs to make clear indicators assessing government performance. This is to prevent corruption in the Parliament and the Government. Meanwhile, BK said to be more assertive. Sanctions should be imposed on representatives who violate ethics and legislation.
