A UK legislator Henry Bellingham has urged the country’s leaders to give people more power over local decision making to enhance democracy.
Mr. Bellingham, who is the Member of Parliament for North-West Norfolk in the UK is proposing among others, that Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) be elected so they can be more accountable.
The UK legislator was speaking at a forum in Accra.
Mr Bellingham said in his country, they were moving towards electing mayors and police commissioners.
“Giving people more power over local decision-making is incredibly important and it also means that you have democracy on an ongoing basis and it is simple democracy,” he said.
