The Enemy of Good Governance: Vagueness
Orwell distrusted assumptions.
Bad governance rarely announces itself.
It often hides behind vague language.
Roles are unclear.
Responsibilities overlap.
Decisions are undocumented.
Ownership is assumed.
The result is predictable.
When everyone is responsible, nobody is responsible.
Good governance begins with clarity.
Who decides?
Who approves?
Who monitors?
Who is accountable?
These questions sound simple.
Yet many governance failures begin because nobody can answer them.
