Based on the assessment held by the PMOs, there are some challenges in 3 aspects that are evaluated by this assessment in the Indonesian Parliament. In the Parliament accountability aspect, some notable findings are that the Indonesian Parliament is still not publishing its own assessments of the assets of public officials; the asset assessment and publication are conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) annually. PMO also finds that Indonesian Parliament still inconsistent to practicing meaningful participation that can be seen as the public involvement and influences are still limited to affect parliament policy and decision making, moreover the accesibility to the parliament are still lacking, therefore the meaningful participation has been legalized by Indonesian Law. Lastly, PMO sees that the Indonesian Parliament is still inconsistent in practicing transparency in its work; the Indonesian Parliament has indeed done live broadcasting through several meetings, but the publication of meeting documents is still limited.
