In pursuance of section 46 sub-section1 of the Local Government Act, 1993, Act 462 establishes the Tatale-Sanguli District Assembly as the highest political and administrative authority at the district level that has been charged with the responsibility of formulating and executing plans, programmes and strategies for effective mobilization of resources to ensure the overall development of the district. Composition of the Assembly

The Tatale-Sanguli District Assembly comprises of 28 Assembly persons (28 males and 1 female), 19 elected and 9 appointed in addition to the DCE and MP who have no voting rights. The assembly also has a Presiding Member who presides over meetings of the Assembly and is in charge of complains and public relations.

The decentralization principle in the new local government system emphasizes on planning to start from the local level and go up rather than the reverse. The development process therefore starts at the community level and is coordinated first at the Area/town council and secondly at the District level by the DPCU composed of the key personnel of the decentralized departments.

The DA structure is made up of Unit Committees at the community level, followed by the Area Councils and the District Assembly at the apex. There are three Area councils namely Tatale, Tatindo and Kandin/Sheini with a total of 19 electoral areas and 169 communities. Though the Area councils have designated location and structures they are not functional. They equally have no staff manning the offices.
