Does Turkish-Style Presidentialism Trigger De-Parliamentarization in Türkiye? The Post-2018 Developments

Accountability Model, officially adopted by Parliament on March 19, 2008, enhanced existing tools of parliamentary oversight, integrated components of the new oversight model with existing components, and bolstered Parliament's capacity to fulfill its oversight function.Despite these initiatives to strengthen the institution, the South African Parliament largely has failed to fulfill its oversight and accountability mandate.This was especially evident during the past decade, which was characterized by rampant corruption within the state and the administration, commonly referred to as "state capture."In response to these challenges, in 2018, the president appointed a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate allegations of corruption and fraud in the public sector.The Judicial Commission's findings concluded that parliamentary oversight often proved ineffective -even when there was a willingness to oversee the executive branch.The final report, presented by the Judicial Commission in 2021, included recommendations (Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa 2021, 461) meant to fortify oversight and enhance accountability within the legislative branch.The recommendations included procedures related to National Assembly resolutions arising from oversight activities and responses; executive-branch reports and submissions to Parliament; executive-branch attendance; selection of office-bearers in state institutions; establishment of an oversight committee over the presidency; and appointments of committee chairpersons.In response, the Rules Committee of the National Assembly convened on November 23, 2022, to review the Judicial Commission's recommendations.Currently, the parliamentary Rules Committee is engaged in deliberations regarding these recommendations
