Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
This work examines the relevance of tribunal in policy formulation in order to thrive good governance in any society. In carrying out this task, certain fundamental indices of good governance such as constitutionalism or rule law, popular participation among others were critically assessed .However, The work relies on both primary and secondary sources of information to generate data. The data sources were complemented with oral interview within and among relevant stakeholders and members of the public to elicit more information about the activities of the tribunal in fostering peace co-existence in the society. Data were equally sourced from the internet, governmental organizations and agencies concerned with the impact the tribunal in decision making. The study raises fundamental question about the place of the tribunal and its responsibility to engender good governance. It noted that the essence of the tribunal is to promote peace in the society, the activities of the tribunal have been perceived otherwise which have propelled untold misconceptions negatively impairing good governance. This has created the rift among various parties in the society.. The study therefore concludes that for the tribunal to creditably perform well, freedom must be granted such that the tribunal is immumed against public interference. Government must be responsible and responsive to the yearnings and aspirations of the tribunal. There must be concerted efforts on the part of the tribunal’s members to be seen as true representatives of the masses by promoting and delivering unbiased decision such that would engender good governance..
