Parliamentary Accountability

Parliamentary accountability refers to the process by which government officials and institutions are held responsible for their actions and decisions by the legislature (parliament). It ensures that those in power operate transparently, follow laws, and serve the public interest. Parliament scrutinizes government activities through questions, debates, and committees, and can influence policies or demand explanations. This system helps prevent abuse of power, promotes responsible governance, and maintains public trust by making sure government actions are open and justifiable to elected representatives and ultimately, to the people.
