Abstract

The parliament has two functions; legislative and supervisory.
The supervisory means performed by the parliament to monitor the government work are different, from monitoring means leading to a political responsibility to others do not lead to any political responsibility. Among these means that do not lead to any political responsibility, we find the parliamentary inquiry committee that has been established by the parliament in order to detect the flaws and imbalances in the governmental body in the state and shed light on facts that concern the public interest. The most important of these issues are all aspects of corruption; financial, political, economic and other forms of corruption.
This paper comes to assess the effectiveness of the parliamentary inquiry committees in reducing the corruption phenomenon in Maghreb countries, particularly, in Algeria and Morocco.
