Abstract

This study assesses the legal basis and constitutional power of regional sates to establish Liyu police in Ethiopia. Primary and secondary data were collected. Relevant laws of Ethiopia and interview with key informants were used as primary source of data and relevant books, articles, documents, reports and also websites of related international and regional institutions are utilized as a secondary source of data. The obtained data were critically compared, analyzed, interpreted and judged through the basic tools of legal reasoning to draw meaningful conclusion. The Findings of this study revealed that the Somali regional sate has failed to act within the proper scope of power allocated to regional sates by the FDRE constitution and also the federal government has failed to respect the power defined by the constitution. It is also ascertained that Liyu Police of SNNPRS and Somali have no legal basis for their establishment.
