Abstract

The ombudsman is very important for any state of proper functioning of government activities. An ombudsman is a state official appointed to provide a check on government activity in the interests of the citizen, and to oversee the investigation of complaints of improper government activity against the citizen. This paper is to secure fairness, integrity, accountability and efficiency in public affairs, by methods conductive to promote confidence in all institutions of the state. In conclusion this paper states that an institution like the ombudsman would be very essential for the interest of the public in Bangladesh. This paper provides an overview of the nature of ombudsman in general, its genesis in Bangladesh and analyses the role a parliamentary ombudsman may play in facilitating ‘good governance’ in the country, if established.[41].
