Am using Afro barometer survey data. Other IVs for this study include perceived responsiveness of MPs, perceived corruption of MPs and level of contact between MPs and ordinary citizens. I want to use these variables to explain the low political trust in parliament in Africa. What theory can i adopt?

It might be worth having a look at the approach of the OECD: http://www.oecd.org/gov/govataglance.htm That body also produces a report on the Caribbean and Lating America: http://www.oecd.org/gov/government-at-a-glance-latin-america-and-the-caribbean-2017-9789264265554-en.htm

Ronald,
for a good overview on how to measure political trust https://www.psa.ac.uk/sites/default/files/conference/papers/2016/Paper.v2.pdf
If you want to understand prominent theories in political trust, I may reccomend Social and Political Trust by Kenneth Newton, in The Oxford Handbook of Political Behavior

Hope this helps,
