BAGHDAD - Yasser incumbent
Phase saw the current and previous severe congestion and intersections between local and central governments on the powers of local authorities silenced. And increased awareness of the implications of the case home to claim their rights and satisfying their needs of basic services. It's called (the desire or unwillingly) to announce some of the provinces and a federal claim. From here it becomes necessary to adapt the administration of the provinces towards the achievement of political and economic justice and raise the efficiency of the management of various facilities to serve the national unity.
What concerns us here in this topic and the fact that our economic affairs specialist with regard to the modern style of management we found it appropriate to hold the following dialog with the economic expert Dr. Kamal Al-Basri and those interested in economic variables in the world and their impact on policies and systems.
In this regard, said Dr.. Kamal Al-Basri: the actual need is not a federal claim, but demanding more powers that serve the ability of provinces to implement the project stalled. That required the provinces to provide a realistic thesis embodies the real necessity for more powers.
He ((in fact, there are explicit provisions the Constitution encourages the local administration to demand more power. And the most prominent of these powers indicates the optical to the Article 122 / V: not subject to the Provincial Council for the control or supervision of any ministry or any institution not linked to the Ministry shall have independent finances . As for Article 123 stipulates, may be delegated to the federal government powers to the provinces, or vice versa, with the consent of the parties, and shall be regulated by law)).
Q: How difficult is exceeded the current reality?
Optical see here that it is necessary to take into account several aspects of the most important that the federal government develop strategic plans for each of five years and draw a general orientation of the whole State of Bishkek. The other hand put the provinces in accordance with the detailed plans and sectoral. We suggest that the plans are the provinces after approval by the boards in effect if you did not receive comments during the 45 days of the federal government. And holds the provincial administration of local institutions in accordance with the plans that were approved and in order to achieve the aspirations of the citizens and the rule of federal law, and to the provinces to take over in all its practices to respect the general laws, as shall the federal ministries on the other monitor the application of general laws, and that the events of these reforms requires the activation of the requirements good governance and particularly careful to observe the rule of law.
* What about project management at the provincial level?
- Confirms the visual-visual here, that the administration of strategic projects in the nature of things, serving as a strategic army and the armed forces, foreign relations and dealing with a wealth of strategic nature such as oil and gas, and the Department of the traditional financial and customs revenue collection and management of strategic projects such as ports .. Etc., should be dealt with by the federal government and in consultation and coordination with local governments. The management of local projects such as health, education, agriculture and land use management if they were not the same after the strategic powers of the provinces are mainly in coordination and consultation with the federal government. These include the appointment of the power managers, employees and exclude them in the constituencies referred to. It is essential that at this level given the right to maintain in the use of advisory bodies to facilitate their work and private land-use planning within the province and end the monopoly of the federal government to do so.
* Economic and financial policy of the major tasks is how to deal with it?
- In the field of economic policy and visual art that you see the federal government developed the general framework of economic policy, technical and follow-up application, and holds the provincial implementation within the general framework.
In the area of fiscal policy it is necessary to adhere to local governments and federal transparent information on revenues and expenditures (planned and actual) alike, and the subordination of all its activities to monitor the BSA and other oversight bodies.
* There is a subject of great importance for how the revenue side can be dealt with?
- Says the optical with respect to general revenue as income of oil and customs are carried out by the federal government and distributed to provinces according to population density to the provinces. And the right of the provinces caused overall revenues to the achievement of the strategic addition to the foregoing earn 5-10 percent to compensate for the costs accruing as a result of the governorates (pollution treatment and maintenance of roads ... etc.). Shall also be entitled to keep fees and wages and rents of the assets of the services and assets and collected for the benefit of their coffers and spent according to the economic plans of the province.
* Is the expenditure is determined in such a mechanism?
- With regard to this aspect in all the provinces to commit to a timetable for obtaining the allocations of financial year-round and stay away from real-time demand for financial allocations from the Ministry of Finance. And the administration expenses of the strategic projects of the jurisdiction of the federal government with a view to maintain that for the purposes of coordination.
The administration expenses of the strategy is the validity of the provinces, including recruitment, job creation and end of services in accordance with prevailing laws and in accordance with the budget law. Also sees the need to end the control of the Ministry of Finance and Planning in the disbursement of financial receivables after approval in the federal budget, and replace it by emphasizing the supervision and control, monitoring and data collection. It is proposed to grant the validity of provincial spending and contracting within the budget allocations and without conditions. With the possibility of recycling the financial allocations after obtaining justified (for example, delay in approving the federal budget). And granting the provinces the power transfers between the doors of the budget subject to the approval of the provincial council.
* How to address the scarcity of investment allocations placed the provinces?
Emphasizes visual that it is necessary to establish banks, economic development (as stated by the law of the federal budget for 2006 the establishment of regional development banks), and establishes as a mixed contribution of shares in the capital of private and public sector, and managed on the bases and principles of trade purely to attract capital, domestic and foreign.
The bank aims to fund conservation projects, especially the financing of infrastructure projects of housing, health, municipal, education, education .... Etc..
And the reasons for its establishment is to enable the province not to rely on the allocations of the federal budget scarce, and to speed up satisfying the needs of the citizen's urgent. He suggested visual at the end of his speech the necessity of adopting a new type of contract the investment pattern of private sector participation for the year) (Private-Public Partnership, a contract gives the government agency which the private sector a concession to establish a specific facility and operation and then return Bajil agreed (for example, in 20 years), and the private sector when he had recovered the cost and made profits. have been developed for different contractual forms of this type, and applied this type of contracts to build schools, hospitals and roads and bridges ...
Etc. in many countries. Add to the above, we find that these contracts represent a strategically option as long as the public and private sector are suffering from poor performance.
