The Role of Local Councils in the Socio-economic Development

The constant failure in the production of good results by local councils in Cameroon has led to deteriorating and devastating effects on the lives of Cameroonians in such a way that if nothing is done to avert it it will lead to egregious inconveniences to the population and why not increase poverty rate which could end up reducing the population of Cameroon to suffering as a result of inability to meet with their needs. This has led some legal pundits to aphorise that socio-economic development under the Cameroonian law to be a myth and not reality. To come out with this piece of work theoretical and empirical methods in collecting data was use it was discovered that the raison d’être of low performance by local councils in socio-economic development in Cameroon is due to the fact that there has been inadequate measures as well as ineffective Implementation of the laws regulating the effective decentralization of administrative and financial autonomy owing to the fact that there exists several challenges and difficulties in the Implementation of these laws.
