The Unclean
MEMBERS of the 2009-2014 House of Representatives (DPR) were the least productive legislators of the reform era. In their first four years in Senayan-home of the DPR-they fell well short of the target to complete their agenda. For example, last year the DPR only completed 16 of the planned 75 new laws. This year, with half of the members busy with election campaigning, it is almost certain the target will not be met again.
It is regrettable that this tardiness in producing legislation is in sharp contrast to 'productivity' when it comes to corruption. Research into members of the 2009-2014 DPR by the Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) revealed that the largest number of indications of corruption and money laundering happened last year. Data from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) support this. Since 2007, some 74 legislators were involved in corruption cases, including 40 people from 2010 to 2012.
