| Summary: | In most countries, Parliament has the
constitutional mandate to both oversee government and to
hold government to account; often, audit institutions,
ombuds and anti-corruption agencies report to parliament, as
a means of ensuring both their independence from government
and reinforcing parliament's position at the apex of
accountability institutions. At the same time, parliaments
can also play a key role in promoting accountability,
through constituency outreach, public hearings, and
parliamentary commissions. |
