Gagalnya Rancangan Peraturan Daerah (Raperda) tentang Pemerintahan Laggai untuk menjadi peraturan daerah (Perda) di Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai, sejak ditolak oleh Bupati dan Ketua DPRD Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai pada bulan Februari 2003, dipertanyakan berbagai kalangan utamanya masyarakat Mentawai. Inilah yang menarik bagi penulis untuk mengetahui: Kepentingan apa saja yang dipertaruhkan oleh Pemda Propinsi Sumatera Barat, Masyarakat Adat Mentawai, Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) dan Pemda Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai, dalam pembuatan Raperda Pemerintahan Laggai? Dari hasil kajian tersebut, penulis temukan adanya dua kelompok baik yang mendukung (pro) dan yang menolak (kontra) terhadap Raperda tersebut.

The failure of the Raperda (Local Regulation Draft) on Laggai Government in Kepulauan Mentawai Regency becoming a public concern of the people of Kepulauan Mentawai Regency, since Regent and the Chairman of Local Legislative of Kepulauan Mentawai rejected the draft of local regulation of Lagai government in February 2003. Therefore, the writer tries to discuss by presenting the following problem formulation: What interests put by the provincial government of West Sumatera, Traditional Community of Mentawai, Non-Government Organizations and District government of Kepulauan Mentawai, in the preparation of local regulation draft of Laggai government? The writer found that stakeholders involved in the process of draft formulation the interests of the provincial government of West Sumatera was making the draft an entry point to regulate and intervene the lowest government (Laggai) in Kepulauan Mentawai regency. Meanwhile the Traditional Community of Mentawai wanted their deprived traditional rights to be restored. They want to manage the lowest government and natural and forestry resources. Non-government organizations supported people’s struggle who wanted to restore traditional community being the main actor in the development. The three groups supported the legalization of the draft to local regulation. On the other hand, district government of Kepulauan Mentawai and Local Legislative of Kepulauan Mentawai as well as logging companies including HPH and IPK in conspiracy had different interests. Based on the findings, the writer provides recommendations: All stakeholders involved in the process of the formulation of local regulation draft for Laggai Government should have good intention, having dialogue and discussion to overcome and solve the problem. The discussion of the draft should be fully returned to Kepulauan Mentawai government without the involvement of provincial government of West Sumatera, district government of Kepulauan Mentawai has right and responsibility to manage its own district and to make its own regulation. The parties interested to study the process of the preparation of a policy should not only observe and see the process of the preparation of a policy and the interaction from formal and procedural view points, but they also have to understand the interaction outside of the formal procedure because so doing will disclose the interests put by the involved groups.
