| description |
This report explores the scope and
limits of parliamentary control over public expenditure in
Bangladesh. It focuses on the collective method, identifying
the role of three financial committees and a sample of four
ministerial committees, referred to here as oversight
committees, in the scrutiny of public expenditure. The
report seeks to compile the specific outputs of these
committees for the last few years, find out the
implementation status of their decisions and suggest
mechanisms which allow for better monitoring of such
decisions as well as propose new areas of work for the
committees which could improve accountability and
transparency of public expenditures. The report is organized
into a number of sections. The following section identifies
the ground rules for parliamentary surveillance of public
expenditure in Bangladesh. The structure and organization of
committees and their scope of work have been described in
section three. Section four provides a detailed examination
of the working of the (sampled) financial and oversight
committees; while their actual impact is assessed in section
five. The limits of committee influence in comparative
context are described in section six. Proposals for reform
are given in section seven. |
