This book examines the problem of accountability in two African
political systems, South Africa and Nigeria. Despite the principle
of separation of powers and the doctrine of checks and balances
among the institutions of governance, a burgeoning governance
crisis stifles the potential of accountability and good governance.
Legislative oversight in the two countries remains largely
ineffective while citizens are left to face the consequences of the
mismanagement of public resources by political elites. This book
critically assesses how the legislative institutions in South
Africa and Nigeria have been unable to harness the requisite
constitutional powers to ensure accountability in government and
explores the feasibility of their effectiveness. The book begins
with a comparative analysis of the principles, tradition, and
powers associated with legislative capability in South Africa and
Nigeria. The chapters explore constitutional provisions and analyze
the capacity of each legislature to function within its respective
political environment. The book also examines the process and
challenges associated with the various measures and mechanisms
available for legislatures to ensure accountability in the two
countries. Researchers, scholars and students of African politics
will find this book useful in their understanding of the problems
associated with the simmering governance crisis in South Africa and
Nigeria.
