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

Authors: Type Bokanga Mputu & Matthieu Mamiki Kebongo Bongo

ABSTRACT

To this end, the Constitution of 18 February 2006 as amended to date establishes political regionalism, by the way in which power is arranged, without expressly mentioning it. The said constitution, in its article 195, establishes two provincial political institutions in order to bring the rulers closer to the governed; but with distinct skills that are supposed to work in the same direction.

Thus, our objective in this study is to enumerate the consequences of the deficit in the implementation of legislative and non-legislative acts on the governance issues of provincial political institutions. It turns out that the results of this study reveal that the consequences of the deficit in the implementation of legislative and non-legislative acts are dependent on blackmail by provincial deputies on members of the provincial governments of Tshopo; threats of dismissal of provincial governments by actors in the Provincial Assembly; conflicts between provincial political actors.

Keywords: Consequences, deficit, legislative and non-legislative acts, Provincial Assembly
