The article acknowledges that Lesotho governance has been characterised by unstable democracy since its attainment of independence in 1966, which makes civil society and other democratic institutions unable to pursue their roles as expected. The proposed solution to overcome predicaments that Lesotho faces was to have active and vibrant democratic institutions such as civil societies, ombudsman, political parties, independent media, independent electoral commissions and the legislative, executive and judiciary. The article aims to bridge the gap by examining published literature and documentary review, which clearly elucidate how good governance can be achieved in a democratic country with the help of active democratic institutions. The article highlights the importance of active and vibrant civil society in governance and public policy. The article concludes by justifying that in deed the government of Lesotho should accept and allow participation of civil society so as to be able to realise its contribution and the important role played by it. Also, civil society in Lesotho must distance themselves from suspicions that they are political parties in disguise.

文章承认，莱索托的治理自1966年获得独立以来就一直以不稳定的民主为特征，这使得民间社会和其他民主机构无法发挥其预期的作用。克服莱索托面临的困境的拟议解决办法是建立一个活跃而充满活力的民主体制，例如民间社会，监察员，政党，独立媒体，独立选举委员会以及立法，行政和司法部门。本文旨在通过审查已发表的文献和文献综述来弥合差距，这些文献清楚地阐明了在民主国家中，如何借助积极的民主体制才能实现良好的治理。文章强调了活跃和充满活力的公民社会在治理和公共政策中的重要性。文章最后指出，莱索托政府实际上应接受并允许民间社会参与，以便能够实现其贡献和发挥的重要作用。此外，莱索托的民间社会必须避免怀疑自己是变相的政党。
