ORI DIY Representative is an ombudsman office located in Special Region
of Yogyakarta Province. The ORI DIY representative functions as an external
supervisory agency overseeing the performance of the Yogyakarta Food and Drug
Supervisory Agency (BBPOM) in carrying out public administration, including
cases of drug syrup contaminated with ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol
exceeding the safe threshold. This study aims to find out how the practice of the
supervisory role is carried out by the ORI DIY Representative against BBPOM
Yogyakarta, the obstacles and solutions that have been made to solve them. This
research uses a type of normative research with the main source in the form of
library research and supplemented by supporting sources obtained from interviews.
The research results obtained are that the ORI DIY representatives have fulfilled
their duties and functions in accordance with the provisions stipulated in Law
Number 37 of 2008 concerning ORI, however in terms of the supervision carried
out there were several obstacles encountered. The conclusion from this study is ORI
DIY Representative has basically carried out supervision of BBPOM Yogyakarta
properly and in accordance with applicable regulation,but in the supervision
process there are obstacles, namely in the form of (1) differences in the perspective
of the main duties and functions of ORI DIY representatives from certain agencies
such as the police, (2) the long time spent in the process of issuing final results by
BPOM including BBPOM Yogyakarta related to maladministration in the syrup
medicine case. However, for these obstacles the ORI DIY still continues to try to
overcome them by continuing to carry out significant oversight of the Yogyakarta
BBPOM and conducting legal counseling to the Special Region of Yogyakarta
Police Departement that they have the same views regarding the duties and
functions of the ORI DIY.
