ABSTRACT
The research on legislative oversight can be divided into three streams. The first is concerned with the oversight tools or instruments that a legislature can employ to perform its oversight function (Wiberg, 1995; Wang, 2005). The second is concerned with assessing the impact of oversight effectiveness on the functioning of a political system (Pelizzo and Stapenhurst, 2012). And the third investigates whether and to what extent legislative oversight capacity and legislative oversight activity are related to one another (APPG, 2008; Ebo and N’Diaye, 2008).
