One of the positive value of the implementation of regional autonomy is the local government has the authority to plan and budget for development in its area. The flexibility in preparing documents for planning and budgeting that is held by local government does not significantly affect the regional development planning process to be effective. Long process of drafting the document planning and budgeting requires the synchronization of programs and activities of the various documents produced. Analysis to the documents of planning and budgeting in South Solok provide evidence that the programs and activities of development in the region are still not in sync between one policy with other policies, ranging from the planning document (RKPD) to the budgeting document (KUA-PPAS and APBD). Some programs and activities appear suddenly in the budget documents, while the programs and activities does not exist in the planning documents, and vice versa. Besides inconsistencies of programs and activities in the planning and budgeting documents, there are also a number of problems in these documents, such as the quality of the activities are still low and the activity target that are not measurable. The condition will be worse because of political interference which occurs during the process of drafting, both derived from the chief executive and the legislature. For the future, to make the development planning be better, the local government must restructure the organizational structure, the mechanism of action, and coordination in planning agencies. Job description in the division systems of Planning Agencies is often implemented to be a rigid planning. As a result, there is fragmentation, divisions, and selfishness in divisions at planning agencies when they draft planning and budgeting documents. This condition is certainly not very conducive to planning process. Because, however, planning and budgeting process is a work that needs integrative, comprehensive, and holistic.
