Legal aid constitutes a constitutional right guaranteed by the Indonesian government to ensure equal access to justice for economically disadvantaged citizens. Effective implementation of legal aid requires transparent, accountable, and well-supervised management of public funds to ensure that legal services are delivered appropriately and in accordance with statutory provisions. This study examines the authority of the Regional Supervisory Committee in supervising the distribution of legal aid funds and evaluates its implementation from the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah. An empirical juridical approach was employed using qualitative methods. Primary data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation conducted at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law of Bengkulu Province, while secondary data were collected from legislation, official documents, and relevant academic literature. Data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. Research findings indicate that the Regional Supervisory Committee performs supervisory functions through monitoring, evaluation, report verification, and oversight of legal aid fund utilization by accredited Legal Aid Providers. Practical implementation has not yet achieved optimal effectiveness because supervision remains constrained by limited human resources, insufficient institutional coordination, and weaknesses in monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Analysis from the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah demonstrates that supervision of legal aid funds reflects the principles of al-'adl, amānah, and hisbah as fundamental elements of governmental responsibility in safeguarding public interests. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving inter-agency coordination, and enhancing supervisory mechanisms are essential for developing a more transparent, accountable, and equitable legal aid system.
