CA issues 'marching order' to secretaries over reforms

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday (Sep 4) issued a 'marching order' to the secretaries of all ministries and divisions to take and implement reform programmes at all levels. "Consultation must be held and opinions should be taken from the stakeholders, if necessary, to formulate the reform programmes," he told the top bureaucrats at a meeting at the Chief Adviser's Office in Dhaka. The CA's Press Wing issued a press brief after the meeting.

Speaking at the meeting, Prof Yunus said a new Bangladesh must be built ensuring honesty, devotion and accountability in all fields in line with the pledge voiced by the student-people in the July-August uprising.

Stressing the need for shunning conventional thoughts in building the new Bangladesh, he said the thoughts should be reformed and the government activities must be carried out in creative ways with utmost importance to public interest.

"By rooting out graft and easing services, the highest satisfaction of the commoners should be achieved," the chief adviser said, adding that optimum use of public money must be ensured.

Prof Yunus asked the authorities concerned to ensure fair competition in public procurement and remove all obstacles to it to ensure transparency and accountability.

He instructed all ministries and divisions to submit time-bound action plans for short-term, medium-term and long-term reform programmes with creative and citizen-friendly mindset, which will be evaluated and monitored regularly.

The chief adviser said the interest and positive perception that have been created worldwide about the new Bangladesh after the student-people revolution must be utilised in the best way for the sake of the country.
