Abstract: The paper calls for financial devolution from the federal and provincial levels to the local level. The author argues that the present high degree of centralization has failed to deliver an adequate level of social services. In addition, while the more important services such as education, health and water supply had devolved to the local level, higher levels of government imposed constraints on their expenditures.
