This paper examines the crisis of the DPR’s supervisory function in the recruitment of public officials through the fit and proper test mechanism. In practice, the DPR’s constitutional oversight function has shifted into an arena of political compromise rather than substantive supervision. This research employs normative legal methods using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary legal materials include the 1945 Constitution and laws related to the Constitutional Court, Judicial Commission, and Corruption Eradication Commission, supported by constitutional law literature and Al-Mawardi’s Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyyah. The study finds that the DPR’s fit and proper test creates dualism of selection, conflict of interest, and politicization of public office, weakening the merit system. From the fiqh siyasah perspective, particularly the concepts of wizarat al-tafwidh and hisbah, public officials should be appointed based on amanah, kafaah, and maslahah. This study proposes limiting the DPR’s role to integrity and constitutional ethics oversight rather than duplicating technical selection processes.
