"It would be audited by the BPK every year. If the board finds that the fund was not used properly, it (the funding) could be stopped for the next year," Tjahjo said here on Monday.
The government has planned to increase its funding for political parties from Rp108 per vote currently to Rp1 thousand per vote effective from 2018.

"Every spending must be recorded," the minister noted.(*)
