Bangladesh’s National Parliament has passed the Government Service (Amendment) Bill, 2026, aimed at preventing protests and disciplinary breaches among civil servants. The bill, introduced by State Minister for Public Administration Md. Abdul Bari, was approved by voice vote on Sunday without any discussion. Opposition members abstained from voting. It took three minutes and thirty-five seconds to pass, marking the first bill approved in the current thirteenth parliament session.
The bill transforms an ordinance issued by the interim government led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus into law. It defines four types of misconduct, including disobedience, collective absence from duty, incitement to avoid work, and obstruction of others’ duties. Penalties include suspension, dismissal, and demotion in pay or grade. The interim government had issued the ordinance in two phases in May and July 2025, and it now awaits presidential approval to become law.
According to the minister, the legislation aims to strengthen discipline and accountability within the civil service and facilitate legal action in related matters.
