Responding to the lack of publically available information, Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) has re-launched the Track Record (RekamJejak.net) website to provide information and background data on the hundreds of legislative candidates running in the 2024 elections.
ICW researcher Kurnia Ramadhana said that through the website the public can examine general information about candidates, their role in the production of laws, their legal history, whether they are corrupt, and what legal cases they have been embroiled in.
"First, how are their track records are on problematic regulations, whether they are compliant or not compliant with LHKPN [State Officials Wealth Reports] or maybe third, whether there are indications they have been involved in corrupt practices", Ramadhana was quoted as saying by Kompas.com on November 26.
So far, ICW has compiled and uploaded data on 491 candidates running for the national House of Representatives (DPR) from various different political parties, although it has been impossible to provide data on all candidate DPR members.
In order to overcome this, ICW is being assisted by the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), Greenpeace and resource people to determine a number of related clusters.
Among these clusters are legislative candidates who are members of the same family as top political party officials. "Sometimes people who talk about dynastic politics are not aware that in their own party there is also dynastic politics", said Ramadhana.
