Abstrak
The role of Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) as subsystem of high state
body has no proper power to representing regions in Indonesia. The DPD
have only role restricted on the regional problems even have the same level
with House of People Representative (DPR). It constituted under fourth
amendment that has stipulated regarding People Consultative Assembly
(MPR) which consists of DPR and DPD But in fact the DPD have limitative
role to representing the whole of regional interests. It reflected on the
narrow contribution of the DPD only towards legislation process regarding
regional decentralisation, new regional forming, and development. On the
author thought that all the effective law and regulations will affect to
regional and the people interest but DPD has been reduced their role to
protect that interests.
