A honest dicatatorship doesn't exist ( at least not sustainably). If we look at history dicators are always percieved to be more honest and progressive than temporary office bearers because they have had followed the policy of relentless progress. In a Autocracy the dictator is supreme and can take decisions without the intervention of legislative or judicial elements. This leads to quicker albeit premature decisions which are often appreciated by the people who desire change and progress. Mussolini, Hitler, Mao were all seen as true honest people by their subjects and were praised numerous times even by their contemporaries for their attitude to get things done and bring real change instead of false promises.

But the fact remains that dictators don't remain honest for long as often with time because of concentration of power in their hands they become corrupt, blind sighted and senile a good example would be the numerous African dictators who have had made their own people into slaves of foreign corporations for petty money.

In a broader sense if we see dictators dont stay honest because they don't need to after all they come to power not through promises of honesty that they have to prove and keep but rather they Grab power through illegitamte coups or similar means. They can't be over thrown easily. Honesty isn't something they stand by.

Meanwhile a democracy has to be honest to a certain extent otherwise the incumbent govt faces the threat of losing election or even being voted out. While you can say that some democracies have escaped consequences with dishonesty I would like to think of these states as pseudo democracies. These states are democartic in name only.
