The Government Role in Public Facilities

The Government’s Role

Given that public facilities are so important, someone must carry the responsibility of providing these to the people. This ‘someone’ is the government. One of the most important functions of the government is to ensure that these public facilities are made available to everyone. Private companies operate for profit in the market. In most of the public facilities, there is no profit to be had. But, for other public facilities such as schools and hospitals, private companies may well be interested. In such cases, private companies provide public facilities but at a price that only some people can afford. Hence, this facility is not available to all at an affordable rate. If we go by the rule that people will get as much as they can pray for then many people who cannot afford to pay for such facilities will be developed of the opportunity to live a decent life. Public facilities relate to people’s basic needs. Any modern society requires that these facilities are provided so that people’s basic needs are met. The right to life that the constitution guarantees is for all persons living in this country. The responsibility to provide public facilities, therefore, must be that of the government
