Implications of Regional Representative Council Supervision Arrangements According to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia

Abstract

The supervision arrangements for the Regional Representative Council in Indonesia can be said to be still unclear because in Article 22 D paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia it is emphasized that supervision of the Regional Representative Council requires follow-up by the People's Representative Council. This research aims to analyze the implications of the supervisory arrangements of the Regional Representative Council according to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This research is legal research that prioritizes conceptual, historical, and statutory approaches. The research results confirm that the supervisory authority possessed by the Regional Representative Council can be less effective because the follow-up to the results of the Regional Representative Council's supervision will depend greatly on the political will of the People's Representative Council. The weak authority of the Regional Representative Council is due to political and legal matters; changes to the 1945 Constitution place more emphasis on strengthening the institution of the People's Representative Council. Therefore, maintaining the supervisory arrangements of the Regional Representative Council needs to be carried out by amending the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia regarding the authority of the Regional Representative Council so that the implications of the supervisory arrangements of the Regional Representative Council become effective and can strengthen the function of checks and balances with the People's Representative Council.
