Accountability in Public Service

Accountability in public service means that government officials and public servants are responsible for their actions and decisions. They are expected to act transparently, honestly, and in the best interest of the public. If they make mistakes or misuse resources, they should be answerable to citizens, oversight bodies, and the law. This ensures trust, fairness, and effective delivery of services, ultimately holding public servants to high standards and reinforcing that public resources are used appropriately for the common good.
