Ombudsman Republik Indonesia (ORI) is an institution authorized to supervise the performance of public service that cannot prosecute or impose sanctions on the reported institution, but it can recommend the institution to conduct self-correction. The nature of Ombudsman’s recommendation is not binding and cannot be forced to execute. This causes the recommendation is often being ignored by the state administrators. This paper was written using the qualitative approch with empirical juridical approach. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the implementation of Ombudsman’s recommendation has not been effective yet since it takes a long time, like what had happened in Central Java. The juridical consequence when the state administrators do not implement the commendation is that they can be given administrative and criminal sanctions. Administrative sanctions are for the reported and the boss, meanwhile the criminal ones are for anybody who inhibits Ombudsman on implementing investigation. Sanctions giving for the state administrators who do not implement the Ombudsman’s recommendation is regulated in Article Pasal 38 and 39 Constitution No 37 of 2008, Article 36 Constitution No 25 of 2009 about Public Service, Article 351 Constitution No 23 of 2014 about Local Government, Article 36 Government Regulation No 12 of 2017 about the Coaching and Supervising of the Local Government Organization. Keywords: Supervisory Institution, State Auxiliary Organ, and Ombudsman Recommendation 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The event of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence on August 17, 1945, was not only a moment of Indonesian independence but at the same time became the moment of the initiation of Indonesia as the rule of law. Regarding the principle of the rule of law adopted by Indonesia according to Soeprapto is “the legal state of the board (verzorgingstaat).[1] When examined the concept of the rule of law adopted by the State of Indonesia, it is more directed to the concept of welfare-state or commonly called the welfare state where the state is obliged to realize public welfare. This means that the state must intervene in people's lives as a step for people's welfare. The concept of welfare-state itself can be found in the Preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945 paragraph IV which reads: ICSTIAMI 2019, July 17-18, Jakarta, Indonesia Copyright © 2021 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.17-7-2019.2303010
