FACTORS OF THE DEFICIT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEGISLATIVE AND NON-LEGISLATIVE ACTS OF THE PROVINCIAL ASSEMBLY OF TSHOPO

Authors: Type Bokanga Mputu Et Louis & Marie Musau Bakajika

ABSTRACT

In order to consolidate national unity, on the one hand, and to create centres of impetus at the grassroots, on the other, the constituent assembly has structured the constitutional reform established by the Constitution of 18 February 2006, as amended to date; it has resolutely committed itself to the sharing of powers between the central government and the provinces. Thus, Article 195 of the said Constitution establishes provincial political institutions in order to bring together the rulers and the governed. The objective that we have set ourselves, in writing this study, is to identify the causes of the deficit in the implementation of legislative and non-legislative acts. From this angle, it was a question of analyzing the various factors of the deficit in the implementation of legislative and non-legislative acts of the Provincial Assembly around the withholding tax of 40% of national revenues, the interventionism of the central authorities in the affairs of the province, clientelism in the choice of the leaders of the provincial political institutions.

Keywords: Factors; deficit; legislative and non-legislative acts, Provincial Assembly.
