Implementation of the Supervision of the Regional House of Representatives' Function in the Management of the Regional Budget in Buol Regency

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the Regional House of Representatives' supervisory function in the management of the regional budget in Buol Regency. It has been conducted in the Regional House of Representatives of Buol Regency using a qualitative descriptive approach. The data are collected through interviews with several informants, continuous observations, and studied documents related to the implementation of the Regional House of Representatives' supervisory function. The data analysis is carried out through data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. In addition, data validation techniques are carried out through data triangulation, an extension of observations, the addition of references, and focus group discussion. The results showed that seeing from the planning aspect, especially at the stage of drafting the regional budget plan, is not optimal. It is found that the aspirations of the community have not been well captured. From the aspect of implementation, it is considered less than optimal due to the lack of budget and the seriousness of the Regional House of Representatives to carry out supervision of the determined regional budget. Meanwhile, the aspect of supervision of the Regional House of Representatives is still lacking, especially supervision of the performance of government administration in the management of the regional budget in Buol Regency. This study suggests that the supervisory function of the Regional House of Representatives should be optimized, especially in the management of the regional budget in Buol Regency.
