A Golkar legislator is claiming that he gets a Rp 14.4 million (US$1,684) monthly phone allowance.
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama said on Thursday that the money, intended to foster constituent relations, was automatically deposited into his account at Bank Mandiri.
“House members are not obliged to [report on the allowance],” he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
All House legislators receive a Rp 14 million monthly phone allowance, according to a report released by the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA) on Wednesday.
FITRA said that lawmakers also receive about Rp 102 million in communication allowances during the House’s five annual legislative recesses.
Basuki refuted the claim, saying that legislators did not receive phone allowances during recesses and instead were given Rp 92 million to visit constituents.
