The Law, Litigation and Politics Surrounding Legislators’ Pension in Cross River State, Nigeria

The 1999 Nigerian Constitution, as amended, grants State legislatures the authority to enact laws permitting former Governors and Deputy Governors to receive pensions. The Cross River State House of Assembly exercised this provision by instituting life pensions for former Governors and their deputies, extending it to cover former Acting Governors, Speakers, and Deputy Speakers of the state legislative body. Subsequently, a former Speaker initiated legal proceedings to compel the State to grant him a pension as a former Acting Governor. This led the court to invalidate the sections of the law providing pensions for former Acting Governors, Speakers, and Deputy Speakers. In response, the House of Assembly amended the law to remove the pension provisions and introduced a "special allowance" for former Speakers and Deputy Speakers. This analysis contends that the bill is unconstitutional and contradictory to the constitution because it exceeds the powers of the House of Assembly to determine their own allowances.

Split-Ticket Voting in Voter Behaviour of the Regional Election (Case Study of Governor Election and Deputy Governor of Central Kalimantan in 2016)

In the 2016 General Election of Governors and Deputy Governors, voters in Central Kalimantan were given the choice to split their votes in regional elections, decentralizing the voting process. However, the existing literature fails to explain the behavior of voters when faced with this choice. This article aims to explain the dynamics of split-ticket voting in the behavior of community voters during the 2016 implementation of the Central Kalimantan Governor and Deputy Governor Elections, specifically in two districts in Central Kalimantan. Using a quantitative-descriptive method, this study focuses on the Permanent Voter List (DPT) in South Barito Regency and Kapuas Regency, who exercised their voting rights in the 2016 Central Kalimantan Governor and Deputy Governor Elections. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was used for multivariate analysis in this study. The study findings identified the following: First, there is an influence of the variable levels of knowledge on split voting. Second, there is a significant influence between non-intentional variables and split voting. Overall, this study provides an explanation of the behavior of community voters when faced with the choice to split their votes in regional elections, which can be used to improve future voting systems.

Posts without ‘Functions’: A review of Article 180(5) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 on the Position of Deputy Governors

Article 180(5) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides that each candidate for election as a county governor shall nominate a person who qualifies for election as a county governor as a candidate for deputy governor. But almost twelve years after the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, questions have arisen not only on the importance of these positions but also on whether there is a need to amend the Constitution to provide for clear and substantive functions of deputy governors or even scrap off these positions altogether. To address this dilemma, this paper will begin by exploring the constitutional duties of the deputy governors. The paper will then conduct a comparative analysis of the Kenyan county governance structure and South African provincial governance structures before then critically analysing the five functions enlisted in section 32 of the County Government Act 2012. In moving from a theoretical analysis to a practical analysis of the situation, the paper will finalise by looking into case studies involving the resignation of the former Deputy Governor of Nairobi County, Paulcarp Igathe, and the ‘absence in office’ of the West Pokot’s Deputy Governor, Nicholas Owon Atudonyang. In summary, the paper finds that constitutionally, the critical mandates of the deputy governor include deputising the Governor, filling the vacancy in cases of vacancy in the Governor’s office, and promoting inclusivity in the county. However, there are still numerous gaps in the Constitution, such as the failure to fill the vacancy in the deputy governor’s office and the lack of procedure for removing the deputy governor’s office. Having been enacted after the adoption of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, it was legitimately expected that the enactment of the County Government Act 2012 will at least address these gaps. Unfortunately, a critical analysis of section 32 of the County Government Act shows that all the enlisted functions in the aforementioned provision are merely a repetition of what is provided by the Constitution, or whatever has been enlisted as functions are fundamentally inconsequential for lack of clarity and substance

Determining the Ideal Election Model at the Provincial Level: Case Study of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Head Election in 2018

This research was conducted to find the right model in the provincial head elections. This is based on the many deficiencies that occur when direct regional head elections are held such as multiple voter lists, logistical problems, low capacity of organizers, the emergence of SARA issues, strong money politics, bureaucratic politicization, and low participation in voting for the community (Pilkada Case Study Southeast Sulawesi 2018). This research encourages the alternative model of the governor and deputy governor election. Furthermore, if you want to be applied in Indonesia in general, more research needs to be done. First, improvements in the overall stages of governors and deputy governors' elections and the use of information technology to increase transparency, accountability, and efficiency. Second, the governor and the deputy governor's election is still carried out directly by tightening the nomination requirements. Among other things, they must participate in the regeneration of political parties, have experience and knowledge of government and local characteristics of the region, and are indigenous people who have lived long in the area. Third, the governor is still directly elected by the community, while the deputy governor can be proposed by the governor to the DPRD/MOHA from the private sector/ASN who meet special requirements, namely experience in government and knowledge of the local characteristics of the region.
