Does office of the ombudsman belong to criminal justice system?

The office of the ombudsman does not belong directly to the criminal justice system; rather, it serves as an independent oversight mechanism that addresses complaints against government agencies and officials. Its primary role is to investigate grievances related to maladministration, ensuring accountability and transparency in public service. While it can influence aspects of the criminal justice system by addressing issues related to law enforcement and judicial processes, it operates outside of that system's core functions.
