This study aims to discuss issues regarding what is the role and authority of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia ? What is the process for examining complaints at the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia ? How is the strength of the Ombudsman Recommendation of the Republic of Indonesia in the effort to realize good governance ? The research method used in this research is normative juridical , using secondary legal data obtained through literature study. The results showed that The Ombudsman is a state institution that has the authority to supervise the implementation of public services externally, both those organized by state administrators and the government. The adjudication process by the Ombudsman in resolving public service disputes is only one of several possibilities for resolving public service disputes. The imposition of administrative sanctions for those who ignore the Ombudsman Recommendation shows that basically the Ombudsman is an institution that can actually carry out its function as a supervisory agency.

Abstract Basicly, The government carries out three main duties, namely: organizing government, carrying out development, and holding public services. State that is required to attend to serve every citizen and citizen to fulfill the rights and basic needs of the community under government approval, accept the mandate of the UUD NRI 1945 (Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia). Based on data or empirical facts, the fact that public services in Indonesia are still not optimal. The quality of community services that have not been optimal, determine the expectations of the community, will reduce the essence of the objectives of the government (state) to realize social welfare for all the people of Indonesia. For this reason, one of the efforts that must be done immediately in realizing good and prime public services is to optimize public information disclosure in the implementation of public services. The main key to understanding good governance is understanding the principles of good governance. Starting from these principles, a benchmark for the performance of a government will be obtained. Information disclosure is one of the important principles of good governance, which can help to realize good and excellent public service delivery. The constitutional guarantee of the right to public information disclosure agreed is contained in Article 28F of the UUD NRI 1945, then further regulated in Act Number 14 / 2008 Concerning Public Information Openness (UU KIP), related to the budget for public service needs, namely transparent, effective and efficient, accountable and accountable. Public services related to information disclosure will create good governance. Keywords: Information disclosure, public service, good governance. Abstrak Pemerintah pada prinsipnya menjalankan tiga tugas utama, yaitu: menyelenggarakan pemerintahan, melaksanakan pembangunan, dan menyelenggarakan pelayanan publik. Negara wajib hadir untuk melayani setiap warga negara dan penduduk untuk memenuhi hak dan kebutuhan dasar masayarakat dalam kerangka pelayanan publik, sebagaimana amanat UUD NRI 1945. Berdasarkan data atau fakta empiris, tercermin bahwa pelayanan publik di Indonesia masih belum optimal. Kualitas pelayanan publik yang belum optimal, sebagaimana harapan masyarakat, akan mengurangi esensi tujuan pemerintah (negara) untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia. Untuk itu salah satu upaya yang harus segera dilakukan dalam mewujudkan pelayanan publik yang baik dan prima adalah mengoptimalkan keterbukaan informasi publik di dalam penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik. Kunci utama memahami good governance adalah pemahaman atas prinsip-prinsip di dalamnya. Bertolak dari prinsip-prinsip ini akan didapatkan tolak ukur kinerja suatu pemerintahan. Keterbukaan informasi merupakan salah satu prinsip yang penting dari good governance, yang dapat membantu untuk mewujudkan penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik yang baik dan prima. Jaminan konstitusional terhadap hak atas keterbukaan informasi publik sebagaimana termaktub dalam Pasal 28F UUD NRI 1945, kemudian diatur lebih lanjut ke dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2008 Tentang Keterbukaan Informasi Publik (UU KIP), menjadi dasar bagi pemerintah untuk melaksanakan fungsi pelayanan publik yang baik, yaitu yang transparan, efektif dan efisien, akuntabel serta dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Pelayanan publik yang didasarkan pada keterbukaan informasi, akan mewujudkan suatu tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik. Kata kunci: Keterbukaan informasi, pelayanan publik, tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik (good governance).

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.

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 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.

The Ombudsman as a state institution has the duty to oversee the administration of the state, particularly in public services in order to realize good governance. Therefore the institution is demanded to be independent and impartial to other state institutions. In addition, the presence of the Ombudsman becomes a manifestation of legal protection for the community in the event of maladmnistration conducted by the apparatus/state officials in using their authority. The birth of the Ombudsman is inseparable from history in Scandinavian countries, including in Denmark. The Danish Ombudsman, known as the Folketingets Ombudsmand, has become one of the most important institutions in the state system there. While in Indonesia, its position has received less attention. This difference makes the writer interested to compare it. The approach used in this paper uses a micro-type body of norm approach, which is a legal comparison that uses the Act as the basis for comparison, which is used is Act Number 37 of 2008 concerning the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia compared to the Danish Ombudsman Act. Whereas the legal comparison method uses analytical method. The result of this research is to reconstruct the law in Law Number 37 Year 2008 concerning the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia by adopting from what is in the Danish Ombudsman Act. the hope is that the existence of ORI is so respected and recommendations from ORI are not merely morally binding but are legally binding.Ombudsman sebagai lembaga negara yang memiliki tugas untuk mengawasi dari penyelenggaraan negara, khususnya pada pelayanan publik agar terwujudnya good governence. Oleh karena itu lembaga tersebut dituntut untuk bersifat independen dan tidak memihak kepada lembaga negara lainnya. Selain itu hadirnya Ombudsman menjadi suatu perwujudan perlindungan hukum bagi masyarakat apabila terjadi maladmnistrasi yang dilakukan oleh aparatur/pejabat negara dalam menggunakan kewenangannya. Lahirnya Ombudsman tidak lepas dari sejarah di negara Skandinavia, termasuk di Denmark. Kedudukan Ombudsman Denmark atau dikenal sebagai Folketingets Ombudsmand, lembaga tersebut menjadi salah satu lembaga penting dalam sistem ketatanegaraan disana. Sedangkan di Indonesia keududukannya kurang mendapat perhatian. Perbedaan inilah yang membuat penulis tertarik untuk membandingkannya. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan mikro jenis bodies of norm, yaitu perbandingan hukum yang menggunakan Undang-Undang sebagai dasar untuk melakukan perbandingan, yang dipakai adalah Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia dibandingkan dengan The Ombudsman Act Denmark. Sedangkan untuk metode perbandingan hukum menggunakan analytical method. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah untuk dilakukan rekonstruksi hukum pada Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia dengan mengadopsi dari apa yang ada di The Ombudsman Act Denmark. harapannya adalah eksistensi ORI begitu disegani dan rekomendasi dari ORI tidak sekadar mengikat secara moral melainkan mengikat secara hukum.

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.
