Accountability and oversight are constitutional requirements in all the spheres of government in the Republic of South Africa and their foundation is in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996. All spheres of government are charged with the constitutional mandate of providing public services. The level of responsibility and public services provision also goes with the level of capacity of a particular sphere. However, most of the direct and visible services that the public receives are at the local sphere of government. As such, enormous resources are channelled towards this sphere of government so that the said public services could be provided. It is imperative that the three spheres of government account for the huge expenditures during the public service provision processes. The parliaments of national and provincial governments exercise oversight and accountability over their executives and administrations through the Public Accounts Committees, while the local sphere of government relies on the Municipal Public Accounts Committees. This article is theoretical in nature, and it seeks to explore the current state of public accountability in South Africa and to evaluate possible measures so as to enhance public accountability. The article argues that the current public accountability mechanisms are not efficient and effective. It is recommended that these mechanisms ought to be enhanced by inter alia capacitating the legislative bodies at national, provincial and local spheres of the government.

The Welfare State

The concept of the welfare state upholds the existence of the legal system under the premise of legal certainty and the protection of basic human rights. Paragraph IV of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia emphasizes the existence of “state obligations” and “the government duty” to protect and serve all public interest. The normative basis of the Constitution was translated as the national principle to embody the public services. The Public Service Law Number 25 of 2009 is a formulation of legal certainty. However, the main problem that occurs in the public services is maladministration in bureaucracy. It is important to build interpretations of the authority attached to the bureaucratic system or on subjects who become government officials. By analyzing the Constitution, this article states that the government official dimensions must be considered as an interrelated issue, so that the articulate practice must be seen as inherent social conditions. Keywords: Responsibility, Government Officials, Maladministration.

Urban Village as a government bureaucracy that deal directly with the public is the frontline in the public service. The existence of the village chief and deputy village chief was reinforced by law No. 147 of 2009 on the Organization and Work Procedure village, which strengthened the position of deputy village chief duties and functions as an auxiliary Lurah such a heavy burden of their duties to serve citizens of the capital densely populated. The reform of the bureaucracy over the birth of Jakarta Bylaw No. 12 of 2014 concerning the regional Organization still beg the question why the position of deputy village chief who is still listed in the rules of the "vacated" in all regions of Village Capital. Occurred in the dilemma between the demands of expectations as a public service town, but on the other hand the reform of the bureaucracy is still a "maintenance of structures" without "tightening" of personnel staffing.

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с педагогическими основами подготовки кадров для гражданской службы на примере Республики Татарстан (РТ) в контексте их профессионального становления и развития. Тенденции развития современного российского общества, как глобализация и цифровизация, повышают требования не только к интенсивности работы государственных служащих, но и развитию их как субъектов профессиональной деятельности. Ведущая идея статьи заключается в том, педагогическими основами профессионального развития молодых госслужащих является не только система основного и дополнительного образования, но и институт наставничества, что актуализирует вопросы субъектно-ориентированного подхода и развитие госслужащих как субъектов профессиональной деятельности через различные системы их подготовки и переподготовки. В этой системе подготовки и переподготовки госслужащих особое внимание уделяется институту наставничества на основе теоретического анализа изучаемой проблемы и результатов пилотного исследования. The article examines issues related to the pedagogical foundations of training personnel for the civil service on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan (RT) in the context of their professional formation and development. The development trends of modern Russian society, such as globalization and digitalization, increase the requirements for not only the intensity of the work of civil servants, but also their development as subjects of professional activity. The leading idea of the article is that the pedagogical foundations of the professional development of young civil servants are not only the system of basic and additional education, but also the institute of mentoring, which actualizes the issues of the subject-oriented approach and the development of civil servants as subjects of professional activity through various systems of their training and retraining. In this system of training and retraining of civil servants, special attention is paid to the institution of mentoring on the basis of a theoretical analysis of the problem under study and the results of a pilot study.

And Function

ABSTRAKPemerintah pada hakekatnya menyelenggarakan fungsi pelayanan publik kepada masyarakat. Karena itu pemerintah berkewajiban dan bertanggungjawab untuk memberikan pelayanan publik yang baik dan professional, namun pelayanan publik yang diberikan oleh penyelenggara pelayanan publik di rasa masih belum maksimal, hal ini di tandai dengan masih banyaknya praktik-praktik Maladministrasi dan pengaduan dari masyarakat. Ombudsman Republik Indonesia yang dibentuk dan disahkan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 Tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia, yang memiliki tugas dan fungsi untuk mengawal proses pelayanan publik yang efisien, efektif, dan terlepas dari kolusi, korupsi, dan nepotisme (KKN). Selain itu Ombudsman juga memiliki wewenang dalam menyelesaikan sengketa pelayanan publik dengan cara mediasi, konsiliasi dan ajudikasi khusus atau ganti rugi yang dapat di putus oleh Ombudsman. Kenyataannya Ombudsman hanya mampu memberikan rekomendasi kepada terlapor, untuk tindakan selanjutnya tergantung dari itikad baik terlapor, karna rekomendasi yang di berikan oleh Ombudsman tidak bersifat mengikat. Selain itu terdapat ketidak relevasian antara Undang-Undang Pelayanan Publik dan Undang-Undang Ombudsman sehingga perlu adanya pembaharuan dalam kedua Undang-Undang tersebut, dan perlu di atur lebih lanjut terkait Peraturan Presiden Tentang mekanisme dan tata cara pembayaran ganti rugi ajudikasi khusus.Kata kunci: ajudikasi khusus; ombudsman; pelayanan publik; urgensi. ABSTRACTThe government is essentially carrying out the function of public services to the community. Therefore the government is obliged and responsible to provide good and professional public services. However, the public services provided by the public service providers are felt still not optimal, this is marked by the many practices of maladministration and complaints from the community. The Ombudsman of the Republic Indonesia which was formed and approved in UUD (Indonesian constitution) Number 37 of 2008 concerning of the Ombudsman of the Republic Indonesia, which has the duty and function to oversee the process of public services that is efficient, effective, and free from collusion, corruption and nepotism. In addition, the Ombudsman also has the authority to resolve public service disputes by means of mediation, conciliation and special adjudication or compensation that can be decided by the Ombudsman. In reality the Ombudsman is only able to provide recommendations to the reported, for further action depends on the reported good faith, because the recommendations given by the Ombudsman are not binding. In addition, there is an irrelevance between the Public Service Act and the Ombudsman Law, so there is a need for reforms in both of these Laws, and it needs a renewal to the both of the Act, and also needs to be regulated further related to the Presidential Regulation concerning the mechanism and procedures for paying special adjudication compensation.Keywords: ombudsman; public services; special adjudication; urgency.

Public service buildings procured based on the traditional model and those procured according to the PPP model are compared in the scope of research involving nine buildings realized in the Republic of Croatia. The results point to greater efficiency of the PPP model in the construction of public service buildings, with regard to both cost and time of construction work.

The legal basis justifying the existence of notaries as public officials and a legal profession were Netherland-Indies laws.  These colonial laws were, by virtue of Art. I Transitional Rules of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (4th Amendment), taken over and considered to be still in force.  Consequently, one of the public service offered by Notary publics, i.e., issuance of letter of inheritance or written affidavit stating which family members of the deceased may by law be regarded as heir-successor, has not been made available to Balinese adat communities. This service can only be enjoyed by those individuals who submit themselves to the (colonial) Civil Code. The article explores, using a juridical empirical approach, the possibility to extent the above public notary’s service to Balinese adat (traditional) communities.

The Republic

The Republic of Ireland is unusual in using the single transferable vote to elect its national parliament. The system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and those lower preferences are used to allocate seats when a count of first preferences shows that candidates have no overall majority or, in multiseat elections, do not reach a set quota. The party system showed little fragmentation until recently, and proportionality has been only a little less than in many proportional representation systems. The public twice rejected moves to change the system and continues to express satisfaction with the control it appears to give them over their representatives, despite the criticisms expressed by many politicians and commentators.
