Practice question · True or false
A Government Sub-delegate is an example of decentralisation.
Hints
- Ask who the post is accountable to.
- It exercises central competences and answers upward.
Show the answer
False
Why
False: it is deconcentration. The competence remains with the centre and only its exercise moves into the territory, with accountability running upward. Decentralisation transfers the competence itself to a distinct authority with its own mandate, which is what an autonomous community has and a Sub-delegate does not.
