Скачать или смотреть Discussion on Political Financing Culture in Bangladesh | Shama Ubaed | daira

Shama Ubaed, Organizing Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), framed political financing as a deeply rooted socio-economic challenge rather than a problem confined to any single party. She emphasized that funding pressures emerge from long-standing political culture, where popularity, ideology, and power dynamics have historically shaped how resources flow into parties.

She argued that expectations of full transparency are unrealistic without stronger institutions. According to her, registered political parties face daily operational costs that current regulatory frameworks fail to adequately address. Meaningful reform, she stressed, requires a more empowered Election Commission, clearer rules, and continuous, evidence-based research into how power, money, and influence operate at every level of politics.
