Abstract

Collectively, Local Representatives Body (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah-DPRD) in Indonesia has function in by-laws making, supervision, and budgeting. Elaborating these functions, laws determine the rights and duties of member of DPRD in distorted way. Particularly, the member of DPRD has rights to initiate bill of by-laws, asking some questions, and arguing idea and opinion. Meanwhile, they have particular duties to transform people aspiration into policy and express both moral and political accountability to the constituent. In this paper, I would like to highlight that the duty to deliver accountability is understood as voluntary provision, not embodied to bind councilor's behavior.
