Bangladesh must break free from ‘lobbying trade’

It has long been said that nothing gets done in Bangladesh without lobbying. From getting a job to hospital admission, school enrolment, transfer, promotion, tenders, business registration—everything in this country requires lobbying. Be it a government or non-government institution. It is heard that even a peon’s job today is not obtainable without lobbying. The higher the position, the bigger the task, the higher-ranking the official one must approach. As a result, maintaining good relations with MPs, ministers, and senior government officials to secure lobbying has become a long-standing trade for a certain class of people in this country.
