Explain the advantages of decentralisation
Answers
Answer:
Advantages of Decentralization:
If there is only one body cast with all sorts of functions, it is bound to be a burden for that body. So if there is a subordinate unit to share the power, the central body will be relieved of much of its burden. This being so, the central body, shorn of such burden, will be in a better position to mind its own business.
In the second place, centralisation is usually plagued with such irregularities as delay, inefficiency and red-tapeism. This is natural when the paraphernalia is large and enormous. Decentralisation is the answer to such problems.
In the third place, the decentralised bodies would be in a better position to know the problems of the locality and thus will be able to meet those problems quickly and efficiently. In such a system the local resources are bound to develop with local incentive.
