Calling all members of the Public Administration Reform Commission ‘controversial,’ BCS (Ad-min) Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd General Secretary Mashiur Rahman has demanded the resignation of the commission.
He made the demand at a meeting in the capital’s Eskaton yesterday.
The meeting was held in protest of the Public Administration Reform Commission’s recent rec-ommendation to appoint 50% of deputy secretaries from the administration cadre and rest 50% from the other cadres.
Mashiur, a 1985th batch admin cadre, said he hasn’t seen the reports of any reform commission be implanted in the past, and even the report of the ‘fake commission’ (public administration reform commission) won’t be implemented now.
“We don’t agree with the quota for which Abu Sayed and Mughdo sacrificed their lives and won’t agree to it. We can’t betray the martyred,” he said.
He claimed that those holding positions in the commission are all controversial and there is an al-legation of corruption against one of the members of the commission who was from customs ca-dre.
“So we are demanding the resignation of the commission and there is no need to submit the report of the commission,” he said.
Thanking his fellows for attending the event, he said they dream of an administration with no po-litical affiliation.
Earlier, a joint protest meeting was organized by the retired and incumbent officers of BCS (ad-min) cadre protesting the recommendations of the Public Administration Reform Commission.
Earlier on December 17, the reform commission chief Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury said they would recommend a 50 percent quota for promotion to the post of deputy secretary and 50 percent quota from all other cadres.
According to the current regulations, 75 percent of the administration cadre officers are promoted to the post of deputy secretary and 25 percent of all other cadres.
