ABOUT THE BOOK

Governance: An Insider's Reflections, written by a good governance enthusiast, is a comprehensive review of some fundamental issues in governance from the perspective of an “insider” in governance with vast experiences and exposure in the public and private sectors garnered over some decades. This book highlights good governance as the most vital ingredient for political and socioeconomic development. One of the major requirements is the responsibility thrust on those engaged in governance to hold themselves accountable to the organisation, the public, or generally their constituents given their rights to know how they are governed. The author’s conclusions are rooted in theories and concepts about governance and offer procedures for seeking solutions to problems and harnessing human and material resources for the purpose of development. The book is enriched with nuggets of theories, reflecting the author’s wide range of experiences acquired from his long walk in the corridors of political power for over two decades as a participant-observer in governments.The book is being published at a time when the polity is characterized by serious challenges of development, a damning display of the astonishing wealth by a few and the misery of many, as the system continues to be fettered by diminishing patriotism, declining productivity, selfishness, and greed.
