I'd change from does not much - to does "little", the point you make remains unchanged and it is works better if the sentence is delivered orally. Also you need to insert "to" before the word govern.

Is it the laws of Aceh that do not do much or he provincial government?
The laws of the provincial government of Aceh do not provide enough to run properly its economic and development affairs.

My first language is English. I would re-phrase it as...
The laws of the Aceh provincial government, however, do not govern the economic and development affairs of Aceh very much.
1. I've inserted 'the' before Aceh provincial government
2. I've used 'do not' instead of 'does not' because 'do' refers to 'laws' (plural, more than one law).
3. I've inserted 'the' before 'economic'.
4. I'v put 'very much' at the end of the sentence, instead of just 'much' before govern. You could have just put 'much', but 'not xxxxxxx very much' sounds better, softer and more diplomatic.
You could also say ....
The laws of the Aceh provincial government, however, do not govern very much the economic and development affairs of Aceh.
This isn't quite the way I would usually say it, but it is good English and keeps 'do not govern very much' together in one group, not split apart.

No. Try this, "The laws of the Aceh provincial government, however, do not do much to manage the economic and development affairs of the province".

I think it would be better as:
The laws of the Aceh provincial government, however, do not have much to do with governing the economic and development affairs of Aceh.

Sounds alright to me! A perfectly good sentence. Say it out loud a few times. You will agree.

Too awkward!
Reword it once or twice.
