In the wake of these reforms the parliament has become more independent from the formerly very strong executive and has gained substantial powers to scrutinize and react to initiatives and policies proposed by the executive. Among others reforms, the parliament now holds stronger powers with regard to the preparation of the state budget and oversight of its execution. These reforms have caused unprecedented changes in the way the state budget is formulated in Indonesia. Ideally, the governance of the budget reflects the delicate balance between executive power and legislative oversight.The realignment of democratic checks and balances in the budget process is a complex process intertwined with other aspects of the full political system: the establishment of representative structures, the electoral system,and the establishment of a functioning multiparty system. How these checks and balances work in practice depends on the effective powers of elected representatives in relation to the executive branch, including the power to appoint and remove executives (through votes of no confidence, impeachment, and so forth); the power to compel information from the executive branch (for example, require reports and audits); the power of the purse; a functioning committee system capable of knowledgeable monitoring and assessing executive branch behavior; and the incentive structure for elected representatives to fulfill their mandates.This chapter examines the institutional framework and the evolving role of the parliament, particularly of the lower house (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat —DPR) in the budget process in post-Suharto Indonesia. The focus is on exploring systemic issues and developing an understanding of how the institutional framework affects the general political dynamics and mechanics in the budget process and thereby shapes executive and legislative relationships in the budgetary realm

large part because of his promises to improve governance and fight corruption. Over
the last two years, President Yudhoyono has been outspoken about the need to reduce
corruption, and his government has taken a number of steps in support of this goal.
Two years into the President's term, it is an appropriate time to examine what his government
has done to fight corruption and to what effect. Recognizing that reducing
corruption is a difficult, long-term endeavor, this report offers a stocktaking of the
variety of anti-corruption initiatives begun or enhanced since 2004. A central concern
of this report is whether these initiatives will produce a significant and lasting decline
in the level of corruption in Indonesia.
This report describes and analyzes the range of anti-corruption initiatives that have
been undertaken by or with the support of the Yudhoyono government. It covers the
variety of measures included under Presidential Instruction 5 (INPRES 5/2004) and the
National Action Plan for the Eradication of Corruption (RAN-PK). It also includes an
examination of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which is an independent
agency, but has emerged as a leader in the government's anti-corruption campaign.
Finally, it also describes the larger context in which these efforts are playing out, including
the legal framework and the involvement of civil society.
This report is intended to provide policymakers, other stakeholders and interested
observers with a better understanding of the current status of the wide range of anticorruption
initiatives being carried out by the government and by independent bodies
like the KPK. It is hoped that the information and analysis contained in the report will
contribute to more informed policymaking and policy dialogue, to greater public understanding
of the strengths and weaknesses of the current efforts to address corruption
in Indonesia, and to academic efforts to understand the Indonesian political economy
