Citizen Branch: This branch ensures that citizens and government officials follow the countries
laws. It consists of the Attorney General (or Prosecutor General), the Comptroller General, and
the Defender of the People (Human Rights Ombudsperson). They have a crucial role to play vis-
à-vis adherence to the rule of law by governmental officials at all levels and, for that purpose,
are charged with preventing, investigating, and punishing administrative irregularities. The three
officers heading these institutions are elected by Congress for a 7-year term.
