Accountability is a vogue word. It has been around for a while now, but does not seem to be going out of fashion. Probably that is because the word reflects and reinforces a value system in relation to government and administration which is solid and good, not just a passing fad. If that is right, then the only difficulty with the notion of accountability is that it may be bandied round to such an extent as to become a mere slogan, a substitute for thought.
