Corruption
Corruption has become an acknowledged phenomenon in Bangladesh. International watchdogs, political parties and even the Bangladesh government are aware of corruption. One bold step that the Bangladesh government can take to curve this corruption epidemic is initiate Electronic Government.
Electronic governance will make government procedures more transparent to general public. This will significantly reduce corruption. For example, if the procedures for getting a land phone line are completed through the Internet there will not be any middleman who you have to bribe! The government can certainly initiate a pilot project like this.
