At first look, the torching of a number of land or sub-registrars' offices across the country appears more likely to be linked to the countrywide arson and bomb attacks on roads and highways. But appearances can be deceptive. If the land documents can be destroyed, interested quarters, having their obnoxious interests crossing the apparent political divide, can lay claim on contentious lands and undisputed lands can be made contentious. Already, the country's courts are overburdened with land litigations which outnumber any other type of court cases. Now fresh claims and counter claims over lands will exacerbate the situation. Not a good prospect when the express intention of the administration is to resolve land disputes as early as possible and bring down the number to the minimum possible!

A dynamic, sustainable, influential and truly representative government can deliver good governance for its citizens. Improving governance in a country is not a matter of choice - it is a necessity for sustainable development. It is the foundation upon which a country's future is built. This is also true for governments, companies, trade unions, and employers' organisations at the same time. Having sound governance indicates that a country has the necessary institutions and tools to ensure credibility, integrity and authority in forming rules, making decisions, and developing programmes and policies suiting to its needs.

Good governance is about the processes for making and implementing decisions. It's not about making 'correct' decisions, but about the best possible process for making those decisions. Good decision-making processes and, therefore, good governance, share several characteristics. They have a positive effect on various aspects of local government including consultation policies and practices, meeting procedures, service-quality protocols, conduct of councillors and officers, role clarification and good working relationship.
