Jakarta -Deputy Chairman of the DPR RI, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, opened his vote on the news of an increase in recess funds for members of the DPR RI for the 2024-2029 period. Dasco said that the DPR recess funds were determined by the DPR Secretariat General. Dasco explained that the DPR recess funds were worth 400 million IDR for the period 2019-2024. However, in the 2024-2029 period, the DPR Secretariat General stipulated that there would be an increase in the activity index and number of points, so that the recess fund is 702 million IDR. “So it’s not an increase. So it is another policy per period for DPR members. So, for the period 2019-2024, the index and number of points are different,” Dasco said to reporters on Saturday (11/10/2025).

Well, it was the secretariat general who suggested it, the DPR members just carry it out,” he continued. Dasco said the recess funds were not for DPR members. On the contrary, it is for recessing activities with different activities to record the pursuit of the people in every election district. “This recess is an activity to take up the pursuit of the constituent communities with different activities, such as social service and others, while also performing supervisory functions in their respective election districts,” he said. In addition, Dasco said that extinctions are not held every month. However, he said that the recess activities take place about 4 or 5 times a year. “Resess for DPR members is held 4 or five times a year, not each month and DPR members only perform tasks designed by the DPR Secretary General for the number of indices and activity points that will be performed by DPR members,” he said.
