Match each civil service control mechanism or bureaucratic issue on the left with its correct institutional role, mechanism, or definition on the right.
- Public Complaints Commission (Ombudsman)Administrative oversight body investigating citizen petitions against bureaucratic injustice, inefficiency, and abuse of office.
- Public Accounts CommitteeLegislative body that examines audited financial accounts and expenditures of government ministries and civil service departments.
- Judicial Control (Writ of Mandamus)Court order compelling a civil servant or administrative body to perform a mandatory public or statutory duty.
- Red TapeBureaucratic problem characterized by excessive adherence to rigid rules, formalisms, and complex official procedures causing delay.
Answer
The Public Complaints Commission pairs with administrative oversight against inefficiency; the Public Accounts Committee pairs with legislative financial audit; Judicial Control (Writ of Mandamus) pairs with a court order compelling public duty; Red Tape pairs with excessive adherence to rigid procedural rules.
Each administrative control mechanism or problem is accurately linked to its defining institutional role or operational definition: Ombudsman for public petitions, Public Accounts Committee for parliamentary budget oversight, Mandamus for judicial enforcement of official duties, and Red Tape for rule-bound bureaucratic delay.
