Good governance calls for public officials to possess both political and administrative skills and competences in order to be able to execute their responsibilities in the interest of the people. There is also a need for officials to be conversant with the laws that regulate public service delivery at sub-national levels. Adherence to laws and policies and the correct application thereof enable government officials to identify and address community problems as they arise. The main aim of this study objective is to assess the influence of public participation on service delivery, the researcher also evaluates the influence of public accountability on service delivery, the study examines the influence of public transparency on service delivery as well, and finally we will also determine influences of rule of law on service delivery.
