by the Government of Kupang through online media. This research aims to study
the factors that lead to the lack of transparency of budget management
information by the Government of Kupang. This study used a qualitative method
with instrumental case study and the data collection procedures using in-depth
interviews, and documents study. The data validation uses triangulation
technique of sources. The research subjects of Kupang Government Bureaucracy
are determined purposively. The results show that the rate of
secrecy/confidentiality of Kupang Government budget management information is
quite high, thus difficult to be accessed by the public (over secrecy). The
causes are diverse, among others, problems of socialization, lack of legal
instruments governing the infrastructure in the field of public disclosure,
lack of resources and a growing perception among the head SKPD and head of the
Treasury Division of the Regional Secretariat of Kupang that local financial
documents such as RKA, DPA, and the LRA are state confidential documents.
