The institution created for checking abuses by government departments is known as the Ombudsman. An Ombudsman is an independent official appointed by the government or parliament to investigate complaints made by citizens against government agencies and officials. The Ombudsman's role is to ensure that public officials act legally, fairly, and reasonably. They investigate complaints of maladministration, such as unreasonable delays, administrative mistakes, bias, or negligence, and can recommend remedial action to the government agency concerned. The Ombudsman is an important institution in promoting transparency and accountability in government, and in protecting citizens' rights.
