This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the supervisory function carried out by the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) in optimizing the implementation of good governance in Kuningan Regency. The main focus of the study covers the four main pillars of good governance, namely participation, transparency, accountability, and law enforcement. The background of this study is based on the phenomenon of the still weak legislative oversight function at the regional level, which has the potential to affect the quality of public services and the implementation of clean and responsive governance. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and field observations of the implementation of the DPRD's oversight function. Informants consist of DPRD members, regional executive officials, academics, and civil society representatives. Data are analyzed descriptively with a thematic approach to identify obstacles and opportunities in strengthening the legislative oversight function. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the DPRD's supervisory function in Kuningan Regency is still not fully optimal. Limited access to public information, low community participation in the policy process, and weak law enforcement are the main obstacles. The DPRD more often plays a formal procedural role without being followed by a substantive evaluation mechanism for the implementation of regional policies. However, there are opportunities for strengthening through digitalization of the public information system, increasing the capacity of legislators, and developing collaboration between the DPRD, civil society, and the media. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of reformulating the DPRD's supervisory strategy to be more open, participatory, and based on data and community needs. Recommendations are made so that the Kuningan Regency DPRD can integrate a good governance approach in each of its supervisory functions as a step towards clean and accountable governance.
