Abstract

This study aims to analyse the institutional capacity of provincial governments of West-Java and East-Java on e-government in Indonesia in order to provide lessons learned for the government in developing e-government institutions. It uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to explore the implementation of e-government in local governments. This research focuses on five dimensions of the action environment, public sector institutions, task networks, organizations and human resources, and the Chief Information Officer (CIO). The results showed that, the action environment dimension of each region has different social and economic profiles so that the literacy level of the population in responding to e-government also varies. For the second and third dimensions, unlike the East Java province, the West Java province has specific rules and procedures as well as clear standards and planning related to e-government. Yet, the West Java province has not determined particular regulation on task and duty of its Office of Communication and Information. The aspect of the human resource dimension shows that the professional ICT group has not yet been fulfilled and there are still many positions related to IT are occupied by those who have no IT background. With regard to CIOs, only West Java province that has specific rules regarding CIOs.

Abstract

The DPD never carried-out its task of double-checking the legislation process. DPD membership is also connected with political parties. This study aimed to reexamine the need for the DPD and determine whether the DPD should be preserved or dissolved. This study was limited and focused on the 2004-2019 period and used the literature study and the descriptive method in collecting relevant information. The approach used in this study was a qualitative approach, which was appropriate since the existence of DPD was considered to be multidimensional. The results of the study showed the importance of revitalizing the authority of the DPD. There were a significant gap and inequality of authority between the DPR and the DPD, which was not in line with the bicameral system in other countries. The DPD's affiliation with political parties was very strong, due to multiple interpretations of Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning Elections on the requirements for DPD membership. As such, it is very urgent to optimize the DPD role. The role of the DPD, as a channel for the region's political and economic aspirations and needs in the national policy, should be repositioned according to the demands of the law.  However, if this role is not achieved, this nation should decide to dissolve the DPD. Of course, it should be conducted through a constitutional mechanism, via amendment of the 1945 Constitution.

Abstract

Prompted by populist rhetoric Donald Trump has spent his time in office trying to bend the conventions of the American presidency to his will. Since taking office, he has repeatedly taken unilateral actions to defy Congress and push the limits of his own power. Now he appears to be trying to override a core principle of democracy: that no one is above the law. Faced with an impeachment inquiry, Trump has openly defied the core constructs of the Constitution. President Donald Trump is incensed by the idea of co-equal branches of government and rejects the House’s right to investigate him. The main aim of this paper is to find out the extent of constitutional limits put on the Executive and the validity of the system of check and balance and to what extent executive privilege would save Trump. Thus, this paper reveals that regardless of the result of the impeachment process, it is critical that those on both sides of the political spectrum work to assure that the growth in presidential power is at least checked, if not reversed.

Abstract

The productivity of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has ripple effect on all the sectors of the Nigeria economy and this is because the Customs is considered a policy instrument for enforcing trade policies and enhancing growth of domestic economy through boarder protection. However, the performance of the NCS has experienced a decline in unit of transactions recorded from 2015-2019 and had frustrated the ease of business transactions in Nigeria. These challenges has been attributed to the recruitment procedure, training and development. Hence, this study examined the recruitment, training and employee productivity in the Nigeria customs service. A mixed research design was adopted with a population of 7,347 officers and men of the NCS. A sample size of 383 was computed through Krejcie and Morgan sample-size determination formula. The study adopted the stratified random sampling to select the officers and men of the NCS in Abuja and Lagos command units from three management cadres.  Questionnaire and interview guide were the instrument of data collection. Response rate of 87.7% was achieved, and data were analyzed and presented through descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that recruitment and selection had significant effect on employee productivity (R2 = 0.054; β= 0.189; t= 4.385 p< 0.05); training and Development had significant effect on employee productivity (R2 = 0.100; β= 0.269; t= 6.086; p< 0.05) in the Nigeria Customs Service. This study concluded that human resources management practices had weak effect on employee productivity in the NCS.

Abstract

Elections in many developing countries such as Nigeria remain complex and cannot be handled solely by the government, as a vibrant print media is part of this exercise. Unfortunately, the Nigerian electoral process cannot be said to enjoy free, fair, and credible elections. Research design for the study was descriptive research, which combined both qualitative and quantitative methods. The sample was divided into two categories of a total of eight hundred and twenty (820) questionnaire respondents and sixteen (16) key respondents and interviewees from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and Lagos State, being the hub of media establishments and highly cosmopolitan locations in Nigeria. The study used survey, interview, and observation methods of data collection. Quantitative analysis was done using responses elicited from structured questionnaires. Content analysis of qualitative data was carried out on the selected 10 print media publications based on national spread. Findings showed that the print media contributed to creating better perception of the nation’s electoral process by international observers (Mean = 3.9497, St.D = 2.20417), the print media embarked upon improper reportage, selective coverage and failed to report actual happenings during elections because of undue influence by politicians and proprietors media establishments, thereby misinforming the people. The study concluded that the print media is important for smooth electoral process during the period of the study (1999-2019), despite challenges such as inadequate funding, and non-adherence to professional ethics by some print media journalists.
