Summary:The fourth amendment of the constitution of Republic Indonesia 1945 reformed Indonesia constitutional system by changing the function of state institutions. Although the separation of power among legislative, executive, and judiciary institutions using a mechanism of check and balances, the result Indonesia‘s politic today is becoming more legislative-heavy. With wider and stronger power in the hands of the legislative branch DPR RI, it is concerned that DPR RI will run their three main function; legislation, budgeting, and oversight occurrence of irregularities that exceed the limits to its powers. This research aims, to understand, to analyze and also to create forms and patterns through the implementation of DPR RI oversight function related to the constitutional system of Indonesia. To achieve this research, a qualitative approach have been done by tracing the actors and network that are connected one another with the implementation of DPR RI oversight function, by using an actor network theory (ANT) as a tool.

The results from this research, there are two notching issues in the implementation of DPR RI oversight function; (1) an issue could be listed in the main agenda of DPR RI oversight function, if notching issues were from strong network, (2) an oversight agenda will continue to be on the agenda of DPR RI oversight function, if the networking agenda was constantly formed by powerful actors.
