Then we will look at parliament's role in the accountability process and how parliamentary committees try to enact and enforce accountability. Both models render public servants directly accountable to parliament. The only sanctions are political sanctions.
Few parliamentarians go to all the trouble to get elected to become auditors of the public service.
A good reference is Corbett Chapter 11. 95 Began with a review of administrative redress in Commonwealth in 1968. 95 mandates a system of direct public service accountability, but is only binding in prescribed areas. The ombudsman can investigate any matter but has no powers to enforce recommendations. In short, what was supposed to be quasi judicial begins to look like the court process.
