BDP national council endorses decentralisation

The decentralisation exercise garnered strong support from all the party members, as the national council further upheld that, “land within such district should not bear names that confer or intimate ethnicity in their naming, administration as a way of buttressing national unity, and that the same should be extended to existing districts".

Politicians and civil society have repeatedly hailed decentralisation as a participatory means to development and an enabler of good governance and democracy. The party also presented this resolution at the presidential constitutional review last Thursday.
