ANALISIS FUNGSI PENGAWASAN DPRD DALAM MENINGKATKAN TRANSPARANSI DAN AKUNTABILITAS PEMERINTAHAN DI KABUPATEN MUNA BARAT

Abstrak

This study examines the supervisory function of the Regional House of Representatives in enhancing transparency and accountability of local government in Muna Barat Regency. Transparency and accountability are essential principles of good governance, yet their implementation in newly established regions often faces significant challenges. This research aims to analyze how the supervisory function is implemented and how it contributes to improving governance quality. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving members of the Regional House of Representatives, local government officials, and administrative staff. The findings reveal that the supervisory function operates through representative, political, and administrative dimensions, supported by methods such as working meetings, hearings, and field visits. The supervision contributes to improved financial reporting, increased administrative compliance, and greater caution among government agencies. However, several challenges remain, including limited access to data, political dynamics, insufficient technical capacity, and the lack of an integrated digital monitoring system. The study concludes that while the supervisory function has a positive impact, its effectiveness is not yet optimal. Strengthening efforts are required through capacity building, digitalization of supervision systems, improved coordination with audit institutions, and the development of standardized procedures for supervision and public information disclosure. These improvements are expected to enhance transparency and accountability in local governance.
