Devolutionof power is made under three lists inthe ninth schedule of the constitution.List I identifies the powers of provincialcouncils, while List II, the reserved228list, specifies the powers reservedto national government. List III, theconcurrent list, outlines the powersthat may be exercised by the nationalgovernment or the provincial councilsin concurrence with each other. Thirdtier local authorities are vested withthe power to create by-laws passedwith the approval of the minister andthe parliament/provincial councils. Thispower-sharing initiative was undertakenprimarily as an alternative to demandsfor a separate state by the Tamil politicalparties and militant separatist groups. Itwas also seen as a measure to enhancedemocratic participation in the process ofgovernment by communities and groups.3.2 Ministerial oversightThe Ministry of Local Government andProvincial Councils (MLGPC) is responsiblefor policy and legislation at the nationallevel, while the provincial ministers oflocal government are responsible foradminstration and supervision at thelocal level.43.3c The national-level ministerhas powers to create, reconstitute orupgrade a local authority based onthe recommendations of a committeeestablished for these purposes.Furthermore, under the three principalActs for local government, the nationallevel minister may curtail or extend theterm of office of the three types of localcouncil by one year.The national levelFinance Commission advises on theallocation of grants to the provincialcouncils which include local authoritygrants. A high court has also beenestablished in each province to resolverelevent provincial affairs and functionunder the supervision of the centraljudicial arm. Reforms recommendedby the commission have been made bythe Ministry of Local Government andProvincial Councils in the following areas:citizen participation; responsivenessto the needs of local constituencies;efficiency, effectiveness and productivity;and the development of a citizens’charter. The ministry, supported by theSri Lanka Institute for Local Governance,is also carrying out capacity and skillbuilding programmes for officials andelected representatives.3.3 Council typesIn the second tier of governmentthere are nine provinces which, foradministrative purposes, are divided into25 districts and 331 divisional secretariats.These secretariats, in most cases, areco-terminous with the 341 third-tier localauthorities made up of 24 municipalcouncils, 41 urban councils and 276 ruralpradeshiya sabhas. With the exceptionof the municipal councils’ financecommittees, the standing committeesare not empowered to make decisionswithout referring to the council.3.3.1 Provincial councils were established bythe 13th amendment to the constitution,which mandated the following elements:the appointment and powers of thegovernor and a board of ministers; thecouncil membership, tenure and legislativepower of the councils; and alternativearrangements in the event of a failure in theadministrative machinery. The provincialminister for local government has oversightresponsibility, with authority beingdelegated to the provincial commissionerof local government. The power todissolve a council is also exercised at theprovincial level and there have been casesof mayors/ chairpersons being suspendeddue to charges of mismanagement andmalpractice. Each province has a governorappointed by the president for a fiveyear term, exercising provincial executivepower and responsible for executing thewww.clgf.org.uk/sri lanka
