Primary duties of every government

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

This is what happens when people emerge into power; don't expect them to be 100% efficient or accountable; some will even do more than you'd ever thought of. This is human nature, and you can't predict what they are up to until they finally emerge into that position. Any government must have its agenda and work towards it, ensuring that they bring it to fruition so that the people will all benefit from their regime.

I have come to understand that most government deviates from there constitutional duties as a government and goes at it pleases then without being questioned because the citizens at time do not know the primary purpose of government in every country, to start i will be pleased to outline some primary duties enshrined in the constitution.
Below are some of the primary purpose of every government. At first I will mention protection of lifes and properties of citizens,  Provision of employment opportunities and so on. All this and many I didn't mention are all duties recognised constitutionally which most governments choose to deviate from because of their own reasons.

Literally, when people criticize the government, they actually don't have any knowledge of the responsibilities of the government and the current performance of the government. So the question is that if people don't know their rights and the government doesn't maintain transparency, then what happens to happen? I think the government should be responsible for some major responsibilities, like providing free education, healthcare, technology, and proper security of life. And the important thing is to maintain the rule of law in all sectors. In our country, the government promises many deals but doesn't implement even one sector completely, so in this case, people must know their legal rights and know the legal ways to resolve their issues.

The government is always accountable for how it uses public resources and is also punctual in providing evidence about its actions. But in our country, people are uneducated and there are no proper regulations, so among us, educated people should differentiate the diplomatic duties and responsibilities of government. So ordinary individuals actually know what they demand from the government.

In current era, thanks to internet and social media, citizen are more aware of their right than ever before. They are well aware of what government ought to do. The issue lies not in public awareness but rather in weaknesses of institution. If judiciary or media cannot function impartially then even if citizen are aware, scope for raising question or effecting change become extremely limited.

It is not always possible for government to conduct all its affair in strict accordance with constitution. Constitution envision an ideal framework for achieving full employment. However it is not possible for any government in the world to fully guarantee this. Due to global economic crises and resource constraint government often cannot manage everything, even if they wish to. bureaucratic complexities are also responsible for such situation.

Rather than labeling this a failure or act of disregarding the constitution, it should be viewed as limitation. Fundamentally every government strives to ensure well-being and complete security of its people.

I don't know why you are concerned about the duties of the government. We give the government too many relevance that is why they are misbehaving. We also have our individual roles as citizens and we are still part of the government so before we ask what the duty of the government are, we should first ask ourselves what we are doing to help the country. If we do some certains things that are supposed to be done by the government, they will become ashamed of themselves.
