Enable, not subjugate
In Spatially Enabled Government
‘Government’ remains the key
And not the ‘Spatial Information’.
As the ‘governments’ are expected to imbibe
The ethics, principles and purpose
Of governance
That empowers citizens
And keep their interests supreme,
Being ‘Spatially Enabled’
Should not result in governments,
Getting emboldened
With additional ‘information’ and ‘tools’
To subjugate their ‘subjects’, even more.
