<![CDATA[The People's Representative Council (DPR) of the Republic of Indonesia possesses a supervisory function, one manifestation of which is the conduct of fit and proper tests (uji kelayakan dan kepatutan) for prospective public officials. Normatively, this mechanism aims to ensure the competence, integrity, and professionalism of officials entrusted with state responsibilities. However, in practice, various legal and institutional problems frequently arise, including the absence of objective assessment standards, alleged politicization of the selection process, and inconsistency among different commissions. This study normatively examines how regulations govern the implementation of fit and proper tests by the DPR, identifies structural weaknesses in the mechanism, and formulates the necessary institutional reforms. Employing a statutory and conceptual approach, this study finds that existing regulations remain partial and fail to provide adequate standardization, rendering the process vulnerable to deviation from the genuine objectives of parliamentary oversight. This study recommends the enactment of comprehensive DPR Regulations on fit and proper test standards along with measurable accountability mechanisms.]]>
