TO give true meaning to the government’s concept of transparency and accountability, and if we are sincere and determined to develop a nation of public servants genuinely eager to serve and to give back to society, it is time we introduce the long overdue institution of the ombudsman commission.

In any real democracy the citizens’ right to hold their elected government to account is fundamental and should always be jealously guarded and strenuously protected from crafty politicians who may have the tendency to overstay or harbour the illusion that they may be indispensable.
