520			_aAccountability is at the crux of the ideals and clamor for a responsible government, yet the present level of understanding of the concept of accountability is marked by noticeable ambiguities (Trivedi, 1984). With the growing concern about democratic governance and the increasing awareness of the public of their rights and privileges within the framework of democracy, administrative accountability has become a core issue of public administration in the developing countries. In any democratic society, public officials exercise legitimate authority and power passed on to them through constitutional and political means. Nevertheless there are lots of questions that are still to be satisfactorily answered as regards the role of public officials and the means and instruments to regulate and control the increasingly expanding public bureaucracy. Thus problems of administrative accountability of public officials have received substantial attention in the recent literature of public administration (Maheshwari, 1983). Accountability means different things to different people but the one thing that is common is that accountability is associated with responsibility. Accountability in one sense means promotion of transparency in the eyes of the clientele guided by the principle of `need to know' (Salleh, 1994). - Reproduced
