The preliminary condition for good governance is the establishment of the rule of law , which ultimately , supplants the rule of whims and caprices of those in power. Good governance demands that government must be not only representative, but responsive, as well, to the needs of governed. A strong sense of responsiveness and commitment to serve the governed is required on the part of the government. Good governance depends on a range of factors that include administrative capacity, country's stage of development, the external conditions that it faces, and the state of information and technology (l.T) available to it, for taking decisions.
