Abstract

Local government that has power to self-finance promotes socioeconomic development and it creates an environments where local communities have access to get basic services and it also enhances the responsiveness of government to the citizens. There have been efforts of local government to finance itself but the struggle ended up expenditures exceeded than revenues and it was a time that the central government has not capacity to transfer funds to fill the balance gaps; the solution was reduction of local government spending (low salary/lack of salary of municipal servants) and decline of basic service deliveries.
