Local governments are established to
-
bring government nearer to the people
- give more powers to the traditional rulers
- make people less loyal to the central government
- make central government interfere in local affairs
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
Local governments are designed to bring governance closer to the grassroots level, allowing for more direct representation and involvement of the people in decision-making processes. This decentralized approach aims to address local needs, promote community development, and enhance citizen participation in governance. It is not about giving more powers to traditional rulers, diminishing loyalty to the central government, or encouraging central government interference in local affairs.
