The transparency of bureaucracy in local government is crucial in ensuring good governance and accountability. This study explores the role of the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) in promoting bureaucratic transparency in Deli Serdang Regency. The SIPD platform, introduced by Indonesia’s Ministry of Home Affairs, aims to digitalize public administration processes, particularly in budgeting, planning, and reporting.

However, the bureaucracy prioritizes the interests of the state and the people as a whole so that whoever the political power that governs the bureaucrats and bureaucracy provides the best service to them.
