It seeks to assess the District\nAssembly\u2019s own locally generated revenues vis-\u00e0-vis the government transfers if such\nlocal revenues are sufficiently enough to guarantee financial autonomy to the assembly so\nas to make the decentralisation concept a reality. It also takes a look at the various\nmechanisms of local government revenue mobilisation, financial management of the local\ngovernment finances, assessment of the local treasury and its vulnerability to fraud and the\nchallenges that most local governments encounter with the public in their tax\nadministration.\nThe method used for the study was mainly qualitative methodology which was basically\ndecriptive other than mathematical means but this did not prevent me from the possibility\nof using quantitative or statistical data to validate my arguments. The methods empirically\nincluded interviews, observations, financial statements and reports of the Nzema-East\nDistrict Assembly. Theoretical literature was used to develop the framework of this\nresearch.\nThe findings of this research indicate that the fiscal autonomy of the district assemblies in\nGhana have been impeded by some key conflicting policy and legal framework of the\ndecentralisation system in Ghana in that the 1992 Constitution Article 254 is on one hand\nand other Acts specifically the Financial Administration Act 2003, Act 654, Local\nGovernment Service Act 2003, Act 656, Internel Audit Agency Act 2003, Act 658 just to\nmention a few are also on the other. Most of the local governments\u2019 effective actions\ntoward revenue mobilisation and the free will of their expenditures have been woefully\nlimited by such conflicting legislations and political influences. These legislations are in\nfact inconsistent with the said Article of the Constitution. Again the findings on the other\nhand revealed that corruption, fraud, misappropriation and mismanagement of local\ngovernments\u2019 funds by public official were co-factors in the impediment of the local\ngovernments\u2019 financial autonomy as the continous depletion of local resources through\nsuch social vices prevent the district assemblies to take-off financially and independently.\nEvaluations were made in the conclusion of each chapter with prescription of some\nrecommendations.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Submitted using Plone Publishing form by Miia Hakanen (mihakane) on 2012-10-17 09:53:58.118045.
