“…71 It has, nevertheless, fashioned a legal field that allows a form of contention; that is, it 'permits a degree of legitimate disagreement over how party policy should be interpreted and implemented'. 72 Pivotal to the emergence of this relatively autonomous legal field is the administrative court system which at least is required -even if vested interests make this extremely difficult in practice -and is capable of acting as a neutral third party arbitrator. In contrast, Vietnam has developed its grievance mechanisms through the law of complaints rather than by expanding its moribund system of administrative courts.…”

In the last decade in Southeast Asia there has been a trend towards new modes of political participation for citizens to provide feedback to government officials or to provide new methods for holding public officials to account. Regimes in Singapore and Vietnam have to differing degrees pioneered and embraced this direction through various such new administrative modes of political participation. But the paradox is that these modes of political participation have not replaced but complemented tight controls on political expression. It is argued here that these new modes work against independent collective political action through: the state defining what issues are available for participation; the state controlling who gets access to administrative institutions involving political participation; and the state shaping the form that this access takes. The end result is political rule by administrative means. Politics is not so much suppressed as transformed into a set of technocratic processes and ideologies intended to narrow the scope and nature of contestation.

The emergence of Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies has been hailed as one of highly captivating financial sector in the world as a result of offering an alternative to financial intermediary and economic growth. However, over and above all the poor financial performance of these SACCOs has been subject of concern and it’s hinged on inadequate corporate governance. As a result, the purpose of this research is to establish the influence of leadership on financial performance of deposit taking SACCOs in Meru County. In this study, Stakeholders theory has been chosen to guide the study. The population of interest in this study will comprise of 12 DT- SACCOs with a target population of 120 participants drawn from the 12 DT- SACCOs in Meru County, the study population will comprise of CEOs, Executive Board Members, and operational Managers of the SACCOs. The study will employ census and purposively sample all the120 to participate in the study. Structured questionnaires with a five-point non-comparative Likert scale will be used to collect primary data. Data collected will be both qualitative and quantitative and will be analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) will be used to analyze the data. The findings were presented using tables, charts, percentages, tabulations, means and other measures of central tendency. Tables were used to summarize responses for further analysis and facilitate comparison. This generated quantitative reports through tabulations, percentages, and measures of central tendency. The findings of this study established a strong positive correlation between board composition and financial performance of SACCOs. Academic qualification and occupation had the highest influence on SACCO’s financial performance with r (33) = 0.851, p < 0.05 and r (33) = 0.845, p< 0.005 respectively. It was however noted that there was a weak positive correlation between gender and SACCO’s financial performance, r (33) = 0.432, p < 0.05. It was also established that there is a strong negative correlation between size of board and SACCO’s financial performance, r (33) = - 0.784, p < 0.05. This means that the fewer the board members the better the financial performance of SACCOs. Besides, a strong positive correlation between board leadership and SACCO’s financial performance was determined, r (33) = 0.812, p < 0.05. A strong positive correlation between transparency and accountability and SACCO’s financial performance, r (33) = 0.884, p < 0.05 existed. The coefficient of determination R square was 0.542 which implied that 54.2% of variation in the dependent variable is determined by the independent variables (predictors). It also means the goodness of fit test is fulfilled. This also means that all the factors (board composition, board size, leadership, transparency and disclosure) significantly predict financial performance of SACCOs, with transparency and accountability having the highest prediction (ß = 2.208).
