Abstract:One of the cardinal principles of Ghana's Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) government, which ruled the country from 31 December 1981 to 6 January 1993, was accountability, not only of public officials, but of all Ghanaians, irrespective of their social and financial standing. However, a number of factors undermined accountability in practice: the ineffectiveness of the appraisal and sanctioning institutions created by the PNDC government, the authoritarian nature of the PNDC itself, the lack of transparency and candour on the part of the government in the conduct of public affairs, and the economic hardship that the Ghanaian people faced.
