Abstract

This study develops an administrative-governance perspective on the role of legislative oversight in strengthening public accountability within the strategic sectors supervised by Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2024–2029 period. Strategic sectors include industry, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), tourism, creative economy, standardization, and public broadcasting/public information institutions, which involve high public value, regulatory complexity, budgetary implications, and inter-organizational relationships. The study employs an integrative conceptual review approach based on the problem-identification, literature-search, data-evaluation, analysis, and presentation framework of Whittemore and Knafl (2005), supported by qualitative analysis of official documents and relevant academic literature. The findings identify four accountability challenges in legislative oversight: information asymmetry, fragmented responsibility, weak follow-up of recommendations, and politicization of scrutiny. Based on these findings, the study develops the Legislative Oversight–Administrative Accountability (LOAA) framework, which integrates information acquisition, performance evaluation, public-value assessment, corrective direction, and follow-up accountability. This framework provides a normative-diagnostic approach to strengthen parliamentary oversight and offers propositions for future empirical testing of accountability mechanisms in strategic sector governance.
