The government can get private companies to deliver some of the public facilities. For instance, contracts for building roads are given to private contractors. Distribution of electricity in Delhi is done by two private companies. However, the government must keep a close watch on these and ensure that they fulfill their commitment to reach these facilities to all people and at affordable prices.
Why do you think the government must assume the overall responsibility for public facilities even when if it gets private companies to do part of the job?
In my opinion government must assume the overall responsibilities for the public facility because government is one which is elected by the people and hence it is the responsibility of the government to provide every basic need to the public at an affordable cost. Even if private companies gives us the facility but the government has to look over in order to see if they are working properly.
