Alhamdulillah, for another nice new morning to me. Hope you are all fine. There is a trend in some intellectuals in Bangladesh that they become exponent of development first then they consider good governance. If a quick survey is done among the Bangladeshis they will reply to see development and good governance at the same time. If we consult the historic movements of Bangladesh we will find that both the two are implied therein. It is the leadership which can translate the aspiration of people by winning their confidence in people. We need leadership which will make consensus of people for the greater interest of the nation. It is unfortunate that we could not use the spirit of independence war during post-liberation Bangladesh for nation building for many reasons. The one of the main reason is pervasive corruption of political activists about which the father of the nation was highly anxious. Later on , no positive scenario is to be seen in successive regimes. Moreover, the volume and dimension of corruption have been increased as time passes. Different types of connection especially of political pattern became one of the main way to have state facilities from the state. With the assumption of power the resource base of politicians and political activists become strong in comparison to other groups of society. At present, peoples common perception is that politics has become a money making sector as business and if the presence of businessmen are overwhelming the chance for further increase of their resoures increase with the help of state machinery. This is one of the main problem of Bangladesh. Businessmen turned politician many times fail to protect the right of the buyers whereas one of the important task of government is to protect right of people at any situation. The background and character of politicians are reflected in public policies of the nation and if there is any unholy alliance between politician and bureaucracy, the protection of peoples right becomes loose. Most of the farmers do not get due price of their production is another number one problem of agriculture economics. The appropriate steps to be taken to give them incentive for production requires necessary research to address the problem. A democratic government have a lot of things to do for the overall welfare of its citizen but the main one is to gain peoples confidence. Without ensuring good governance at all levels of society only conducting development work will not feed the prime aspiration of people. May Allah help us to understand and do not include us among the wrong doing people.
