In the quest for the attainment of democracy with its fully unleashed potentials, the role of information and communication technology (ICT) is integral within this current knowledge economy disposition. The study explores the effect of mobile technology penetration on governance quality from the unconditional and marginal effects of mobile phones and diverse democracy indicators. The analysis is carried out by applying the instrumental variables (IV) Tobit regression to the data to examine the relationship among the variables of interest with a view to handling possible endogeneity issues in the empirical model. The study finds that weak democracy is detrimental to the effect of mobile phone penetration on integrated governance quality and that the higher the mobile phone penetration, the lower the weak democracy quality in SSA. The study concludes by recommending efforts and policies to be enacted and implemented such as the enhancement of mobile technology for concise quality governance.

De plus, la diffusion des téléphones au sein de la population augmenterait la probabilité de changement politique dans le pays en question (Stodden et Meier, 2009) 20 , mais également dans les pays voisins (Rhue et Sundararajan, 2011). Elle favoriserait également une baisse de la corruption dans le pays concerné (Kanyam et al, 2017 (Collier et Sambanis, 2002).…”
