Legislative Oversight

Legislative oversight is the process by which a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress, monitors and reviews the actions, activities, and efficiency of the executive branch and various government agencies. This ensures laws are being implemented correctly, public funds are used appropriately, and the government is held accountable. Through hearings, investigations, and reports, legislators can examine how policies are functioning in practice and address any issues or concerns that arise. This oversight role is crucial for maintaining transparency, accountability, and trust in government operations.
