The submission proposes amendments to Chapter 12 of the Constitution. The NHTL also argues that the chapter of the Constitution, which deals with Local Government, deprives traditional leaders of their right to govern their own communities. It proposes that the powers, functions and duties of any Local Government be performed by traditional leaders to ensure that service delivery and development in traditional communities take place rapidly. It further suggests that, where an organ of state has allocated a role or function to traditional councils or traditional leaders, the organ of state must monitor the implementation of the function and ensure that the implementation of the function is consistent with the Constitution. Where a traditional council does not perform an allocated function, any resources given to a traditional council to perform that function may be withdrawn. The NHTL also suggests that traditional leaders should be represented in all legislative-making bodies, including Parliament.
