Consequences of a weak governance Lack of transparency is a perfect state of affairs for many. State capture Administrative corruption
State Capture All for one – one for all Grand scale - gang governance Evictions - grabbing Public asset transfers Favoring arrangements Law for the powerful Transparent governance stops gangs! PS. Nothing wrong with motorbiking!
Administrative Corruption Bribes Facilitators Theft Fraud Extortion Nepotism Misconduct Just some tea money? No, it’s serious. Maintains poverty and social exclusion!
Land Use and Transfer Decisions These lands are by law restricted to pasturing. Interests are served, but whose interests?
Environment, State Lands and Transparency Protection starts by knowing what and where to protect!
Enforcement, feasibility Rule of Law is a joke, if there is no feasible life at offer by obeying the law. This house is built on a seasonal river!
Equality Guess which side have formal titles and the protection of the law?
Our future Can we afford to have land natural resource use decisions not based on economical, environmental and social interests, but to the interests of a few?
