Accountability

To effectively serve citizens and businesses public administration needs rational organisation and clear lines of accountability. It has to be scrutinised by the parliament, judiciary and independent oversight bodies. The public must have access to public information and if the right to fair administration has been violated should be able to uphold this right and obtain compensation if justified.
