retaining it. The Government intends to plan the

further development of representative government on the

in mind:

(a)

responsibilities of each of the

three tiers of government should be

clear, and their roles should not

overlap.

(b) The three tiers should co-operate

effectively, and be linked in such a way

that the views and

concerns at each

adequately

level of government are

represented at the next higher level.
