Introduction
Although there are constitutional laws and other laws that provide opportunities and means, particularly for local municipality administrative organizations which are the bedrock of democratic
governance, city communities also face problems of political participation not much different from politics on national level, or even worse.
From said issue, the problem did not originate just from municipalities, subdistrict administrative organizations, or local administrative organizations, as the local administrative organizations in Kalasin also
faced similar issues like other areas, particularly the two town municipalities in the province. The issues derived from the people, who were rightfully entitled to the authority over local administrative
organization, but lack of understanding of their own basic functions in terms of public participation. The people in general believed that public participation in the management of local administrative
organizations was essentially the act of electing representatives to be inserted into the administrative organizations; local government organizations and members thereof. However, the other aspect of public
participation in reviewing the operations of local administrative organizations has largely been overlooked, despite the fact that it was a role of the public to partake in local administrative organization in the most
objective manner.
Kalasin, one of the provinces having undergone sub-regional strategic schemes to promote participation and good governance, that is, basic foundation of citizen consciousness building, with local
information gathered in a field survey on “People Participation in Development Plan of Local Government: Case Study of Town Municipalities in Northeastern Region” in 2013, has found that
participation in reviewing the administrative organizations in Central Northeastern Region was on a moderate to high degree; having appointed the Procurement Audit Volunteers, who played a key role in
evaluating local administrative organizations in the civil sector, unlike any local administrative organizations in other areas of the Northeast. The problem caused local administration to be short of
participation from the people in local development. This issue was fundamentally a matter of policy in nature that the government must confer with all related parties, leading to a subject matter of People
Participation in Audit of Public Procurement of Local Government in Kalasin Province
Objectives
To develop a systemic public participation in monitoring the procurement of local administrative organizations in Kalasin.
