Abstract
Unlike during the New Order era which saw village as an extension of the central government without adequate authority to run the village government, village now has recently become self -governing community equipped with broad authority to manage their own affairs for the sake of realizing people’s welfare. It is an entity of community combined with government. It is community who possesses special governmental organizational structure with unique and vast authority to carry out development programs. In doing so, they handle themselves autonomously based on their own cultural values, their initiatives. As such, the central government has nothing but to respect and concede the uniqueness of its each respective village across the nation. In addition, central government has to allocate state budget to realize social and economic justice for more than 17,000 villages. This is the way the Village Law No 6 2014 has designed which differs dramatically from the previous village law. It has adopted recognition and subsidiarity principle in managing village development. In order this to materialize, Village Council whose membership consists elected representatives from among the villagers prominent figures has been empowered its political roles by means of annulling its inherent legislative authorities. To pave the way, it is positioned outside the formal village government organizational structure which makes it fit to function as representative of villagers civil organization. Given this setting, the Council’s main duty is to fight to people’s interest by preventing themselves from village government vested political interest. To make things better, the law has authorized it to organize a strategic villagers gathering held annually namely Village Meeting. As the key actor of the meeting, the council members has to show off their capacities in political communication as well as public communication to run village democratic governance whose operating values are transparency and accountability. For this to occur, advocating people’s information rights is necessary requirement. By so doing, those values will institutionalize within village government daily operations by establishing Public Information and Archives Operator as required by Public Information Transparency Law No 11 2008 which will bring about good village governance.

Summary
BPD sebagai kanal (penyambung) aspirasi masyarakat dan melakukan Pengawasan terhadap Pelaksanaan Peraturan Desa (Perdes) dan Peraturan Kepala Desa. Melalui “panggung”perhelatan Musyawarah Desa yang merupakan forum penting karena dihadiri elit desa seperti kepala desa, lembaga kemasyarakatan dan unsur masyarakat, BPD seharusnya dapat menjadikannya sebagai arena untuk mengoptimalkan peran representasi, agregasi kepentingan politik warga, delibarasi serta menggairahkan partisipasi. Hal ini berarti menggambarkan pentingnya pemerintahan yang terbuka (open government) yang mewajibkannya untuk memberikan layanan informasi publik kepada masyarakat sehingga mereka dapat berpartisipasi dalam mengambil keputusan dan kebijakan publik. Hak warga atas informasi publik ini disebut pada pasal 27 tentang kewajiban kepala desa point d yang menyatakan memberikan dan/atau menyebarkan informasi penyelenggaraan pemerintahan secara tertulis kepada masyarakat Desa setiap akhir tahun anggaran. Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 Tentang Desa menyebut satu kali, yakni pada pasal 52 yang menyatakan Kepala Desa menginformasikan secara tertulis dan dengan media informasi yang mudah diakses oleh masyarakat mengenai penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan.
