Abstrak

The research aims to describe the issues regarding the effectiveness of the organizational structure led by acting regional heads based on applicable legislation. This study utilizes a qualitative method, emphasizing juridical-sociological principles and normative legal research. Informants in this study include the Acting Regent of Central Bengkulu, the Secretary of the Central Bengkulu Region, the Chairman of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Central Bengkulu, the Head of the Provincial Government Bureau of Bengkulu, Inspector IV at the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Director of Facilitation for Regional Heads and DPRD, and the Directorate General of Regional Autonomy of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The aspects used in this research are the case approach and the conceptual approach. The results show that limitations on authority and the significant control of the central government over any strategic policies requiring approval from the Minister of Home Affairs do not hinder acting regional heads from executing regional affairs as long as they are not contrary to the provisions and regulations. Limitations on the authority of acting regional heads do not disrupt the functioning of the government machinery. The Ministry of Home Affairs remains the focal point for guidance and supervision, ensuring the smooth running of governance in the region.
