Decentralization, District Chief Executives,and District Assemblies in Ghana's Fourth Republic
The article shows how District Chief Executives (DCEs) exert extraordinary influenc activities. It further led to conflict and tension between the DCEs, administrators, and Members of Parliament, which proved counterproductive to rural development. Subnational leaders who owe their position to political appointment lack autonomy to pursue grassroots preference. Yet with constitutional reforms that ensure direct election of DCEs, and the creation of a local supervisory body with review and veto powers over DCE policy and administration, responsiveness, and accountability to the people can be encouraged. This,in turn,can foster cooperation/positive interaction among the varying actors and perspectives for effective decentralization.
