ANALISIS YURIDIS PENGELOLAAN PROGRAM KOPERASI MERAH PUTIH OLEH PEMERINTAH DAERAH

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the authority of local governments in managing and supervising the Red and White Cooperative Program (KMP) based on the perspective of state administrative law and local government law. This study uses a normative juridical research method with a regulatory approach (statutory approach) and a contextual approach (conceptual approach). The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations and secondary legal materials in the form of books, journals, and relevant legal literature. The results of the study indicate that the authority of local governments in the Red and White Cooperative program is derived from Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government and Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives. Local governments have authority in the aspects of fostering, empowering, facilitating, and supervising cooperatives, but are not authorized to carry out internal management of cooperatives because management is the right of cooperative members as private legal entities. Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of the Establishment of Red and White Village/Sub-District Cooperatives cannot be used as a basis for expanding local government authority because it is not included in the hierarchy of laws and regulations. Therefore, the implementation of the KMP program must remain guided by the principles of legality, legal certainty, and proportionality so as not to give rise to conflicts of authority or violations of the principle of cooperative independence.
