Can This System Of Government Make A Different. by yemmit90: 11:55pm On Apr 07, 2022
Federal government, zonal representatives and 774 local governments.


The federal government will comprises of 6 elected members( called ministers), each minister from existing 6 geo- political zones. These ministers are the heads of Government of their respective zone. They oversees the activities of local governments through the zonal representatives under them at central. The zonal representatives are not part of federal government but directly under ministers .

Federal government controls the army and foreign affairs, while zonal government determine the security, education and economy of their respective zone.

Election to various local governments and that of representatives is entire the business of zonal governments, which must take place the same time with other zonal elections, in order to allow uniformity at central.

Zonal representatives will comprises of 90 members. 15 members from each geo-political zone. Unlike presidential system, these representatives from zones are not law makers but mere representatives of their people from their respective zones. The duty of law making or amendment of law should be left to plebiscite, through electronics voting or popular opinions from each zone. 2/3 of zonal endowments can amend or makes the law that solely concern federal government affairs. In this case, zonal vote or opinion represents all its masses. Zonal governments are responsible for law making or execution in their respective zone.

774 local governments - Each local government will comprise 10 executive members headed by mayor/councillor and a member each from communities under it. For instance, if there are 20 communities under a local government, the total number of local government council will be 30, 10 official members and 20 unofficial members representing each community. The unofficial members must be heads of landlords in each of these communities. This heads of landlords are not entitle to any salary or arrears, they are only part of executive in order to ensure equity and fairness in terms of developments distribution in their communities.

Each zone must pay certain amounts ( not tax) to federal government to maintain her budget. Resources control should be entirely in the hands of zonal governments. Off shores resources would be control by federal government and share equally among zonal governments after retaining certain percentage for her budget.

Budget deficit would be funded by Zonal governments, while budget surplus would be shared among same zonal governments.

There are many clauses that must still be inserted but let me stop here to see people opinions.
