In this paper we aim to show that a responsible party for acquiring critical governmental information systems should be nominated and that the expected consequences must be analysed before the project is started. This is to prevent loss of human life, to enhance well-being, tosecure a democratic process and civil rights and to save resources. Our approach is to increase public participation as well as the participation of different interest groups derived from the critical governmental information system development on enhancing these systems. We use Habermasian discourse to enhance the process of procuring, developing and implementing these systems and apply it to the idea of responsibility towards the society.
