<![CDATA[This study examines how Indonesian law regulates the supervisory authority of the regional house of representatives over regional heads, and identifies the forms through which that supervision is exercised. The issue arises because the governing statute confers a supervisory function without attaching binding force to its outcomes, so the same institution acts simultaneously as a co-maker of policy and as its supervisor. The research applies a normative legal method combining statutory and conceptual approaches, drawing on the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Government and its implementing regulations, analysed descriptively and qualitatively through grammatical and systematic interpretation. The findings show that the supervisory function rests on attributive authority granted directly by the legislature and covers the implementation of regional regulations, regional head regulations, regional budgets, related legislation, and the follow-up to state audit findings. Supervision operates preventively through deliberation on draft regulations and budgets, and repressively through working meetings, public hearings, field visits, accountability reports, and the rights of interpellation, inquiry and expression of opinion. Such supervision is political and institutional rather than executorial, so its effectiveness depends on norms obliging regional heads to act upon supervisory recommendations.]]>
