“…To support the realization of good governance in the implementation of elections, financial management needs to be carried out in a professional, open and responsible manner (Mamokhere, 2022). Therefore, the preparation, implementation and accountability of the State Budget and Regional Budget for election activities must use references based on laws and regulations that have improved the budgeting process in the public sector so that it can support the realization of good governance.…”

Background: With the demand for good budget management, the role of the Cilegon City KPU (General Election Commission) budget manager requires competence in managing it, and requires an understanding of the duties, functions, and position of each budget manager official called as payment instrument official. Aim: This research aims to examine the implementation of budget management principles at the Cilegon City KPU, the constraints and the efforts to overcome the constraints. Methods: This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through interviews, observations and document reviews. Findings: The information on budget management was still limited and in the form of a written report. The budget implementation was not efficient because the realization of some activities was not in accordance with their objectives and did not state any priority to be accomplished. The budget setting procedures were still top-down and determined directly by the National Election Commission. Some changes in the budget and activities were not revised in the final report on election activities and the budget did not fully accommodate the needs of all polling stations (TPS). Some procurement of goods and services and other facilities did not have clear evidence of transactions and some of them were unrealistic and did not correspond to the market price. Not all stakeholders (Local Representatives, DPPKD, PPK, PPS and community leaders) were involved in the preparation, implementation and discussion on the electoral budget accountability report.

The purpose of this study is to explore the IDP process for improved public participation and thereafter assess the barriers to the design and implementation of the IDP. The IDP process was developed to improve strategic planning and ensure that no one is left behind at the grassroots. This was done by promoting public participation in municipal affairs. Many South African municipalities have been struggling to use the IDP process to improve public participation. A mixed-methods approach to investigate the participative IDP process and barriers, using the Greater Tzaneen Municipality (GTM) as a case study was adopted. The methodology included 400 respondents who were chosen through a probability sampling technique and probed to complete the online survey using a closed-ended questionnaire guide, and 10 respondents were also chosen through a non-probability sampling technique and were face-to-face interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The key results revealed that poor public participation exists in the study area due to a lack of encouragement from responsible authorities. Many barriers hinder the effective design and implementation of the participative IDP process, such as protests, working in silos, a lack of institutional resources to address the competing needs of communities, and a lack of transparency, accountability, and consultation. Lastly, the lack of oversight by the municipality in the adoption of e-participation has been discovered as a barrier to the design and implementation of participative IDP process during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concludes by providing a few recommendations to enhance participative IDP process. The GTM should at all times uphold democratic principles by ensuring active and effective public participation, transparency, and accountability in municipal affairs. South African municipalities, especially GTM, should develop innovative institutional and organizational skills to make better use of their resources, solve socioeconomic barriers, and enhance service delivery.
