Regional Council Cameroon




Each council is advised by members of parliament from the area and by an administrator appointed by the President Of Cameroon .Part X: Article 57, 58. This individual acts at the president's personal representative and wields considerable power.DeLancey and DeLancey 229. The president of Cameroon reserves the right to disband any regional council he so chooses.Part X: Article 59.

The regional councils were created by Cameroon's constitution of 1996 in response to agitation for a return to a Federal System Of Government or increased Decentralisation . However, the councils have yet to be established in reality, and the regions established by the constitution are still known as '' Province s'' and are headed by presidentially appointed governors.DeLancey and DeLancey 229.
