    An Appraisal of (In)Congruity Between Constitutional Responsibilities and the Practices of ‘Caffee’ Under the Revised Constitution of Oromia
    (AAU, 2020-05) Kefyalew Kelbessa, Sibhat; Degefa, Abera (PhD)
    The Oromia Regional State has been in a severe political turmoil in recent years. Researches trace causes of the turmoil to malfunctioning of governmental institutions that could not respond to political demands in time as a result of which the region was derailed into an unbearable political crisis. The Caffee, as a primarily concerned political entity, has constitutional responsibilities to address most of the demands. Therefore, this study aims at assessing if the practice of Caffee meets its constitutional responsibilities and what caused incompatibility if any. Through assessments done based on interviews with officials of Caffee, researcher's observations, and group discussions, the study identified discrepancies between the constitution and the primary legislation and also the practices. The study concluded that there are several inconsistencies caused by political indetermination, legal and structural defects, and lack of professionalism.
