Oversight

The Sarawak Ombudsman Ordinance, 2023, establishes an independent body to combat maladministration. With broad investigative powers and strong independence safeguards, it enhances accountability.

An Ombudsman serves as an independent, non-partisan oversight official investigating public grievances against government maladministration. By mediating disputes and recommending systemic reforms, the institution protects individual rights, ensures administrative accountability, and restores public trust without the high costs of litigation.
