Problem Statement

A number of researchers have studied the relationship between MPs and Upazila administration. It is widely believed that Upazila administration helps to implement the decentralization policy of government . UNO (Upazila Nirbahi Officer) is supposed to assist the chairmen of Upazila perishad in implementing government policy (Abdullah, 2011).

In this context, many studies have shown that the informal role of MPs deciding the promotion &  transfer of the incumbents plays as a dominating factor for unquestioned obedience of Upazila administration to the MPs (Hossain, Sikdar & Alam, 2003).In another research by BRAC it is shown that the role of MPs is seen to be deterrent to decentralization and development. In many ways MPs try to influence Upazila administration for personal gain (Hassan & Mannan, 2014).

Despite all of our knowledge the problem is how to explain the informal relationship between the members of the parliament and Upazila administration. Though government incumbents are supposed to be adherent to the laws they shows more obedience to the elected MPs . Officials of Upzila administration behave more passively than actively when it comes to cooperation or hearing  to the unethical advice of MPs. So, due process of business is not working in the sytem.

The scenario create need for tracing out the underlying reasons for existing infromal pressure and undue advice of MPs. To confront this problem I made a perspective that enables researchers  to conceive the invisible hand of MPs over the Upazila administration. In this situation, the infromal relationship between them has been an important issue that needs serious attention for better understanding and maintaing rule of law.
