Things do not look very transparent, What's cooking?
Dear All
As a matter of fact, Ayub Khan had Gustav P. Papanek of Boston Uviversity,
Ershad had Craig Baxter of Juniata Colege, ....now we see that Robert I. Rotberg
who directs Harvard University Kennedy School's program on intrastate conflict is trying
to line up behind Bangladesh's boss the American-trained (?) Moeen U. Ahmed. Hope we
all remember, General Moeen U. Ahmed visited Kennedy School at Harvard University
recently [on October 21st 2007].
Kennedy School has now a project on "sustainable democracy" in Bangladesh. This
project is supposedly funded by Bangladersh Government. These professors are one of
a kind bounty hunters, who design projects to cater short-term and long-term needs
of the "special interest groups" in the funding country. Professor Robert I. Rotberg vis-à-vis
Kennedy School's agenda is not likely to be any different. By his own admission, Professor
Rotberg recently visited Bangladesh. It will be interesting to who paid for the cost of his
Bangladesh tour. Is it any way connected to the "sustainable democracy in Bangladesh"
prroject?
Moeen U. Ahmed visited Kennedy School too. There is a rumor in Dhaka that the expense
for Moeen U.'s October 2007 visit was close to the tune of around $200,000 (that includes the expenses for his staff and entourage) from Bangladesh's coffer. What did people of Bangladesh got in return? Things do not look very transparent........
BTW, our well-known IT-specialist Sajeeb Wajed Miah recently got himself admitted into
a graduate program at the Kennedy School of Government. It will be very interesting to know
how his current academic pursuit is being funded at highly expensive Harvard University.
Mr. Sajeeb Wajed Miah's hitherto academic and professional background was computer
engineering and information technology. Any direct relevence to a program leading to
a degree in Government is not very apparent, unless he has been designated to be a CEO
of Bangladesh in the near or distant future, by the Kennedy School of Government...
The article "Bangladesh's model: It offers an alternative for countries immersed in conflict" By Robert I. Rotberg published in ChicagoTribune February 17, 2008 should read seriously and must be read between the lines.
