[ALOCHONA] Bangladesh no more one of the most corrupt countries

Dear Jamir Bhai, we are somewhat relived to see Bangladesh descended from its most corrupt status to some extent a better position and I welcomed this improvement. However, I cannot assert this position as a normal sign of recovery from epidemic corruption that Bangladesh unfortunately endures for many years now.

 

Bangladesh got 2.0 with CPI scoring system, taking fifth most corrupt position in Asia knotting together with Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. Afghanistan crippled with war for many decades positioned to fourth with 1.8 CPI score. Does this give you any comfort at all? Do you call this progress?

 

Let us identify first which phenomenon or sectors make our image as corrupt or not corrupt. In my consideration, the two major sectors, which was or are most responsible making us better or worst are A. Service sector and Commerce (private and governmental) and B. Developmental Project (private and governmental).

 

We have to understand Bangladesh is under an emergency rule since January 11^th of 2007 which can be compared with a patient who has been admitted to emergency room care in a medical center. Patients name is Mr. Economy, whose brain is Commerce and arteries are Service Sector.

 

We are talking about a severe brain damaged corrupt persons whose arteries are clogged, blood flow is abnormal, and other body organs are dysfunctional who has been kept alive with the help of life support system. Now tell me how you judge whether such person is doing corruption or nor knowing he is in comma with no sign of life. Our country's economy (commerce) is in the intensive care, non functional, therefore we have to wait to see how it functions in a normal environment.

 

On the other hand another main challenging hurdle of corruption is governmental and private developmental project. Developmental projects are no longer visible anywhere whether governmental or private. Now in absence of the entire major phenomenon which generates corruption there is no alternative barometer to judge corruption.

 

Burial grounds are very peaceful and serene because deceased cannot fracture the peace or serenity. Bangladesh under emergency can be compared with a burial ground with superficially imposed calmness.

 

• All developmental projects governmental and private are at standstill position.
• Commerce has taken a long vacation without any prior notice.
• Inflation is going to touch double digit probably for the first time in recent past.
• Farmers are struggling to keep them alive.
• Fertilizer price keep rocketing and farmers been sued in thousands for demanding lower price.
• Price of rice touched all time high not only in Bangladesh index but in Asian index
• Garments workers been denied with their fundamental rights
• Hungry Cidr victim demanding food. CG adviser Gen. Matin wanted them to put in jail for demanding food breaking emergency rule.
• Jute mill workers are fleeing to save them self from government security forces which are after them for demanding legitimate salary
• Home makers are struggling to put something on the family members plate while cooking essential are out of reach
• Water is taking place for cooking oil but water has shortage too
• Fish are only for the people with real deep pocket while emergency continues
• Meat, a word from the past taken a page in the history book to explain what it is.
• If Edison was alive today he will decline to recognize electricity as his discovery seeing Bangladesh shameful mismanagement
• So on and So on………
