Abstract

Purpose: The accountability of public officials is a cornerstone of democratic systems; however, citizens often struggle to oversee delegated authorities effectively because of population growth and governance complexity. This study proposes a mobile application designed to bridge this gap by enabling direct citizen engagement, real-time oversight, and transparency through an autonomous accountability committee. Methods: This theoretical study employed a qualitative, hypothesis-driven approach that integrated governance principles, technological feasibility assessments, and comparative analyses. Results: The proposed framework enables structured citizen participation in accountability processes through features such as complaint submission, voting, data audits, oversight, and investigative reporting. By aligning governance processes with democratic principles, the system fosters transparency, trust, and public administration responsibility. Conclusion: The framework for an accountability mobile application leverages technology to improve transparency, citizen engagement, and government oversight. It addresses inefficiencies in traditional systems while overcoming challenges such as data security and legal recognition. Compared with existing digital tools, this system offers stronger engagement and enforcement. Future research should focus on pilot implementations to assess their impact on governance and public trust. Limitations: As the research is entirely theoretical, practical challenges such as government adoption, cyber security risks, legal compliance, and technological scalability remain untested. The feasibility of implementation depends on institutional cooperation and regulatory adaptation. Contributions: This research advances the discourse on democratic oversight, digital accountability, and citizen empowerment in public administration. Key features include AI monitoring, blockchain security, decentralized participation, and technology-based digital mechanisms, along with existing methods to ensure an effective accountability system.

Abstract

This article explores the political journey of Bangladesh from its birth in 1971 to the difficult present, like a long and winding river shaped by storms of ambition, ideology, and outside influence. After gaining independence, the country dreamed of unity, rebuilding, and democracy. But over time, those hopes were shaken by repeated waves of political instability, military rule, and weak attempts to build lasting democracy. Political agendas changed again and again, like a swinging pendulum moving between dreams of economic growth and infrastructure. Yet, these goals were often blocked by corruption, family-based control of power, and unfair elections. The story of democracy in Bangladesh has not only been written by elected leaders but also shaped by powerful unelected groups such as the military, business elites, and foreign powers. Each of them has left their mark on the country’s political path. As the nation moved between secular ideals and the rise of religion in politics, its institutions became weaker, burdened by political bias and growing public distrust. At the center of all these are deep political problems, like cracks in a building’s foundation, which have blocked the path toward a fair and fully representative democracy. This article also looks closely at these problems and shows how they still affect political choices and make it harder for Bangladesh to build a strong and stable democratic future.
