<![CDATA[This study analyzes the crisis of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia’s oversight function in Indonesian democracy, as well as the factors behind its ineffectiveness and the measures needed to address it. The study employs a qualitative method using a normative legal approach and library research. The findings show that the oversight crisis is reflected in the weakening of checks and balances, the ineffectiveness of post-legislative scrutiny, and the low level of transparency and public participation in parliamentary oversight. The main contributing factors include the dominance of political oligarchy, the legacy of authoritarian parliamentary governance, the normalization of collusion and political-business practices, and power disparities among representative institutions. To overcome this crisis, the study recommends strengthening post-legislative scrutiny, improving transparency through civil society participation, digitizing oversight with public engagement, balancing the bicameral system, and reinforcing civilian control over strategic sectors. Therefore, DPR RI oversight must be reoriented to function effectively as an instrument of people’s representation within Indonesia’s democratic system.]]>
