“…Policies are important in providing the ability and guiding the planning and execution of interventions by laying out the guiding principles for their application, proposing the necessary legal and regulatory frameworks, and defining the roles of various actors (Kuttig, 2020). The effective functioning of different sectors and ministries depends on the quality of policies formulated.…”

This paper assessed the impact of political institutions, ICT infrastructure, and social networks on citizens’ self-motivation and engagement in policy formulation. The study was motivated by limited citizen engagement in policy formulation in Uganda which has made Uganda as a country to score poorly both in the e-government and e-participation index and contradict Article 38 of the Constitution of Uganda which advocates for citizen engagement in policy formulation. Thus, this study aimed to increase citizen engagement through the adaption of the Motivation, Opportunity, and Ability (MOA) model. A survey collected Primary data from 361 village health teams and local council Chairpersons. The collected data was analysed using SPSS and SEM. Results found that; political institutions, ICT infrastructure, and social networks influence self-motivation, political institutions, and self-motivation influence engagement while self-motivation fully mediates the relationship between ICT infrastructure, social networks, and citizen engagement, it partially mediates the relationship between political institutions and engagement. The practical implication is that political institutions are essential in stimulating citizens’ self-motivation and engagement.

“…This was done under the impetus of a high police officer in collaboration with the plate providers and a number of large rickshaw owners. The timing of the merger, quickly after AL returned to power might also indicated that it was an operation to eradicate organizations that had functioned under BNP rule and instate or favor organizations and people loyal to AL, as is common in many other sectors in Bangladesh (see Kuttig 2020b). After this move, both the rate of recovery increased, and theft itself decreased (see also below).…”

Around half a million rickshaws ply the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh. To deal with the problem of theft, owner associations started to issue 'thief plates'. These allow owners to get their rickshaws back at a reduced price. They also offer a protection against theft. This article argues that these plates form material mediators brokering relations between rickshaw owners and drivers, and thieves. Building on the literature on state-citizen brokerage, bureaucratic materialities and Anton Blok's work on mafia, it wants to highlight the centrality of mediation in understanding practices of protection/extortion. It also aims to contribute to the literature on mafia in South Asia, showing the need to pay attention to norms of non-violence when dealing with violent or criminal strongmen.

“…Political placards emerged as a significant tool in the social politics of Bangladesh in terms of power, political performance, and socio-economic perception of space. These placards mediate inter-party competitiveness over opportunities and dominance and how inter-party caliber relations are structured (Kuttig, 2020).…”

The researcher aimed to study the democratic process of the practices of the political parties of Bangladesh on Power Transmission since 2006. The study applied the qualitative descriptive method. This article aimed to measure the democratic process, power transmission, and the systematic crisis of the political parties with their wings. The investigation found that the practices of the parties are not purely democratic since the independence of the country. The government is mostly entitled by the two significant parties though there is a showcase of democratic elections. The election commission is responsible for the fair election, but unfortunately, that is not independent at all. Moreover, the most significant issue is the distrust amongst authorities. That is why there are constitutional changes usually happen due to dishonesty under the dominant party. The Study refers to the amendment of the 15th constitutional practice, making the election system unfair because the election was happening while the current government still controls the systems. It makes the opposition not to trust in the election commission. Thus, the country needs to have a non-dominant electoral mechanism and back to the amendment of the 13th old practices to make sure the democracy and transparency of the leadership in the country by the fair election. Furthermore, it will ensure the stability and the commitment of all bureaucrats to fulfill their services properly without any kind of influence.
