Abstract:
In parliamentary democracy, the principle of ministerial responsibility emerges as a focal point for
accountability and openness in government operations. Drawing a comparative lens between
Bangladesh and the United Kingdom, this principle sheds lights on political nature of each nation.
In recent years, both countries have witnessed a shift in public expectations, with a growing
demand for greater transparency and accountability. Social media and increased awareness have
amplified public scrutiny, making it more challenging for ministers to evade responsibility for their
actions. Overall, both the UK and Bangladesh recognize the importance of ministerial
responsibility in ensuring good governance and upholding public trust in government institutions.
While the specific mechanisms for enforcing these principles vary between the two countries, the
underlying objectives remain consistent: to maintain a government accountable to its citizens and
to foster a culture of transparency and responsibility within the executive branch.
