Indonesian MPs receive additional allowances a week after a rampant protest on the allowance
A few weeks after the widespread protest in Indonesia’s excessive salary of members, the new allowance was angry with the new people.
The Deputy -House Chairman of the country said that now the RUP 1 million rupees ($ 5,4; £ 31,800) will be available.
There is a holiday allowance to support MPs who have been performing the official duties of visiting elements while not in the Parliament Convention.
Pre -August protests were carried out by the monthly housing allowance of $ 3,000 given to MPs – 10 times above the minimum wage in Jakarta. It was later cut to prevent anger.
August protests started after thousands of people demonstrated MPs against housing allowance. But soon they condemned the corruption and economic inequality of the largest economy in South East Asia.
And now, the news of the latest rental allowance, which was kicked on October 3, has renewed the controversy around it.
Indonesian members take about five races a year, during which they visit their election districts and collect feedback from residents.
The rent of the holiday allowance is that during their release, MPs, Sufmi Dasko Ahmed told reporters on Saturday to match the activity of the MPs. He told the royators that the previous allowance did not take into account the increase in food and transport prices.
Dasco also said on Monday that the representatives will leave a public accessible app where MPs will have to report about their residence funds, Indonesians can monitor their expenses.
MPs from other countries did not listen to their factors to get their allowance at the top of their basic salary to fulfill their official duties. In Australia, the voter allowance is from 25,000 to 37,000 dollars per year, depending on the size of the voters’ constituencies.
This is the latest incident as many Indonesian people have realized that the country’s political proceedings are punished.
“This is the same as the Indonesian people,” Nanfa profits, Lucius Carus in the Parliamentary watchdog formppie, told local media.
“We were satisfied with the end of the housing allowance … but in fact another extraordinary allowance has shown.”
There is also a part of this anger that many MPs received an additional 54 million rupees in the holiday allowance. Later, the authorities said that it was due to human error and the money was repaid.
“(Government) behavior is not surprising,” wrote another X user. “Surprisingly, the Indonesians still want to choose.”
