Introduction
Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) are responsible for implementing government policies. However, weak oversight has led to poor performance, corruption, and inefficiency in many of these agencies.
Improving Legislative and Executive Oversight
Both the legislature and the executive need to strengthen their oversight functions over MDAs. Regular audits, performance reviews, and hearings will help improve accountability.
Enhancing Internal Control Mechanisms
Many MDAs lack strong internal audit and control systems. Strengthening these mechanisms will help detect and prevent financial irregularities and poor management.
Tying Funding to Performance
Linking budget allocations to performance and compliance can motivate MDAs to improve their operations and deliver better results.
