Political oversight refers to the process by which government bodies, such as legislatures or regulatory agencies, monitor and evaluate the actions of the executive branch and other public institutions. This oversight ensures that laws are implemented correctly and that public officials are held accountable for their decisions and actions. It helps maintain transparency and integrity within the government. Through various mechanisms, such as hearings, investigations, and audits, political oversight aims to prevent abuse of power and promote good governance. It plays a crucial role in protecting citizens' rights and ensuring that public resources are used effectively and responsibly.
