upreme Audit Agency (BPK) chairman Harry Azhar Azis has said that a plan to audit the General Elections Commission (KPU) will be decided on Friday after a meeting with the heads of House of Representatives' Commission II overseeing home affairs and Commision III overseeing law and human rights.
Harry said, however, that the BPK and the House had yet to decide whether or not to carry out a performance audit, financial audit or investigative audit of the KPU.
'According to the House, they want us to carry out a performance-based audit of the KPU. But that could change tomorrow during the meeting,' he told reporters on Thursday.
He explained that the BPK had already conducted a performance audit on the KPU in 2014, and that the BPK planned to convey the results of the previous audit during Friday's meeting.
Previously, Commission II speaker Rambe Kamarulzaman said the commission had agreed that the BPK should perform an audit on the KPU because the funding for regional elections had ballooned from Rp 4 trillion [US$302 million] to Rp 7 trillion.(+++)
