Why Everything Changes with Every Government? Unmasking the System of Control in Bangladesh
With each change in government in Bangladesh comes a familiar wave of administrative reshuffling. From top judges and police chiefs to vice-chancellors, secretaries, and anti-corruption officials, entire institutional leaderships are frequently overhauled, often before their tenures end. This predictable pattern has once again sparked public debate: Is this simply governance, or strategic control?
Analysts argue that such mass transfers are less about efficiency and more about loyalty. Institutional independence appears compromised as political affiliation becomes the primary qualification for office. The result? Justice varies by judge, enforcement shifts with officers, and laws are interpreted through political lenses.
Observers warn that this cycle of politicized reshuffling undermines public trust, weakens democratic checks and balances, and reduces critical institutions into partisan tools. “When rules change based on who’s in power, the rule of law dies a silent death,” says one retired bureaucrat.
The phenomenon raises uncomfortable questions:
Why does the Anti-Corruption Commission act differently under different regimes?
Why do policies mean one thing today and another tomorrow?
Until institutions are truly insulated from political pressure, experts warn, Bangladesh may continue to witness power changing everything, except the system itself.
