Cabinet of Bangladesh
The Cabinet of Bangladesh is the chief executive body in the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The cabinet is the collective decision-making body of the entire government normally under the Office of the Prime Minister, composed of the Prime Minister and other cabinet ministers. During a caretaker government or interim government, the cabinet is instead composed of the Chief Adviser and other cabinet advisers. These "advisorial" positions are equivalent to their respective ministerial positions.
Responsibility
Ministers of the government, according to the Constitution of Bangladesh, are selected primarily from the elected members of House of Nation, also known as Jatiya Sangsad. Cabinet ministers are heads of government departments, mostly with the office of the Minister of Department. The collective co-ordinating function of the cabinet is reinforced by the statutory position that all the ministers jointly hold the same office, and can exercise the same powers.The cabinet is the ultimate decision-making body of the executive within the parliamentary system of government in traditional constitutional theory of Bangladesh. This interpretation was originally put across in the work of the Bangladesh constitution in 1972. The political and decision-making authority of the cabinet has been gradually increased over the last few decades, with some claiming its role has been usurped by "prime ministerial" government.
The cabinet is the executive committee of the Prime Minister's office, a historic body which has legislative, judicial and executive functions, and whose large membership does include members of the opposition or coalition. Its decisions are generally implemented either under the existing powers of individual government departments, or by the cabinet secretary, the most senior civil servant in Bangladesh.
