The FOINI coalition has been trying to encourage and campaign so that Commission 1 of the DPR chooses candidates who are credible and have integrity. The advocacy work of the FOINI Coalition has been carried out intensively since Thursday, 20 June 2013, by approaching members and leaders of Commission 1 of the DPR. Some of the members and leaders of the DPR’s Commission 1 who have been successfully met are:

1. Hayono Isman, member of Commission 1 of the DPR, from the Democratic faction. Found on Friday, June 21 2013, at around 10.00, in the DPR Commission 1 Secretariat room.
2. TB Hasanuddin, Deputy Chairman of Commission 1 DPR, PDIP faction. Found on Monday, 24 June 2013, at around 11.00 in the Leadership Room of Commission 1 DPR.
3. Susaningtyas Handayani, member of Commission 1 of the DPR, Hanura faction. Found on Monday, 24 June 2013, at around 13.00, in the Leadership Room of the DPR’s Commission 1.
4. Mahfud Shiddiq, Chairman of Commission 1 DPR, PKS faction. Found on Monday, 24 June 2013, at around 10.00, in the Secretariat Room of Commission 1 DPR.
5. Syaifullah Tamliha, member of Commission 1 DPR, PPP faction. Found on Monday, 24 June 2013, at around 15.oo, in his office in the PPP faction.
6. Yorris Raweyai, member of Commission 1 DPR, Golkar faction. The Coalition’s input documents were submitted to Aspri in the Work Room of the PDIP faction.

The documents submitted to the DPR members are: a). Tracking results of 21 names of potential KIP members; b). Brief of proposed methods and evaluation criteria for the selection of Commission 1 DPR; 3). Proposed List of Questions to members of the DPR’s Commission 1. The chairman of Commission 1 of the DPR, Mahfud Shiddiq, requested these documents to be reproduced by a number of factions and leadership members of the DPR so that they could become material for their consideration. In total there are 13 copies of documents, for 9 factions and 4 leadership elements.

On Tuesday-Wednesday, June 25-26 2013, the FOINI Coalition also observed the Fit and Proper test process conducted by Commission 1, by becoming part of the Balcony Fraction. And on Wednesday afternoon, 26 June 2013, the Coalition received information that the results of the selection would be determined by deliberation for consensus in a closed session. The secrecy of the decision-making process for the 7 member names plus 4 backup names is regrettable. Apart from the closedness of the decision-making process, the Coalition also found the fact that the elected commissioners will place the institutional development of the Central KI starting from zero again. And it’s a challenge
