Distinguish between administrative, legal and professional accountability. Despite multiple institutional accountability mechanisms, the government has failed to make a dent in systematic corruption. What do you think are the reasons for the poor performance of accountability mechanisms?

i) Accountability - justification for an action taken

ii) Enforcement - sanctions & penalties for unjustified action

iii) Responsiveness - internal sense of responsibility

Accountability

Administrative | Legal | Professional

(Ex) Civil service conduct rule | (Ex) Whistleblower act | (Ex) NMC Proposed Standards of Doctors

Reason for poor performance of accountability mechanisms:

(Ex) Moral minimalism taken by official

(Ex) [illegible] Judicial/Physical interaction monitoring their action

(Ex) Favour while monitoring their action

Therefore, without accountability, administration woebegone is Frankenstein monster which eats its own master.
