Valuable Details That Government Transparency Entail

By Margaret Ward


Some time back in history, many states had the luxury of keeping their activities a secret from the electorate. Today, no such system still exists in many countries. The people have all the rights to access the plans and proposals by their leaders. Government transparency offers people more information about the developments and plans, and this gives them the oversight they need for a sense of responsibility to be realized.

All thanks to enlightenment, most people now have the strong voice and confidence to offer checks and balances to leadership they deem unfit. Different debates have been tabled to ensure the required and expected openness and transparency from the leaders is realized. Unlike before, when the people had no such right, today they have the luxury of keeping up with government-proceedings for the necessary oversight.

More and more democratic reforms hit different states and backgrounds. The democratic wave kept on spreading, and eventually, people realized they have a strong voice which is backed up by their constitution. With quite democratic societies today, the governments have indeed opened up their door for the people to access the information they need through different ways such as media.

There are certain state-secrets which can be kept classified as long as the people need to access the information. There is a limit to what people can know. In any country, not all the people are patriotic and mean well for the country. As much as they can access another pool of information, they are prevented from accessing critical data that can jeopardize the security of people.

Countries across the world have unapologetically been hit by terrorist waves. These have left many dead, hundreds maimed, thousands homeless, and an unaccounted amount of property lost. As much as the people need disclosure of government plans, the limit should include keeping vital information far from reach for such agents of turmoil.

Suitable strategies have been developed to make security tighter and acquire more safety for people. When they send undercover professionals and agents, they are usually targeting to acquire vital information from the grassroots levels where the attacks are usually planned from the onset. When these agents get to the bottom levels, it is not easy to detect them, thus end up unravelling the criminal gangs and plans.

Leadership ought to be accountable. This can only happen when the people know what is being done. You cannot push certain leaders conduct their roles and duties when you do not have the track of their moves. When they realize they are being watched, they would mostly improve their operations and functionality to ensure they uphold their duties legally and free from corruption.

The members of the public have a right to be consulted with. This enables them to participate in ruling their country the right way. When proposing some changes and coming up with new ideas, the people ought to be notified as well and their participation and views respected. This leads to a happy country full of people who are satisfied and believe in their systems.
