Describe the component of bureaucratic responsibility known as accountability.
What will be an ideal response?
Accountability depends on the ability of policymakers to control administrators’ actions. Control, in turn, can be either positive (requiring an agency to do something it ought to do) or negative (seeking to prevent an agency from doing something it should not do). The principal focus of control, however, is on discovering bureaucratic errors and requiring their correction.
