Green '09: Transparency

Day 411, 01:07 • Published in USA USA

• by Peter Green

Bad governance is a cause of underdevelopment, poverty and war.

An important criterium used to judge good governance is the following:

"Is the process of decision-making and implementation transparent or is it hidden from public criticism? Is information freely and directly accessible to those who will be affected by decisions?"

I feel there is a need for increased transparency in our government. Who can tell me who advises our president and on what issues? Who can name some of the current cabinet positions? When was the last time you checked our national website (yes, we have a national website)?

If I am elected President, I will make sure we get a transparent national website, featuring all the info about the current cabinet (who advises me on what issues and what are their credentials), about governmental programs and about government owned organizations. Increased transparency can increase democratic participation by our citizens. At least, that's my vision...

You have almost 70 votes and we only had a couple of days to actually campaign. Just think what we can do when we are more prepared for the next election.
