Bangladesh appears to become hostage by gamblers
Bangladesh appears to become a hostage by gamblers, Justice Muhammad Habibur Rahman said citing lack of good governance in the most sectors of the country.
"It appears that the country is in the grip of the gamblers…people today are seriously worried over the irregularities in the process of admission, recruitment, tenders and partisanship," he said while launching a report titled "The State of Governance in Bangladesh".
Habibur Rahman, former chief adviser to the caretaker government, posed the question " how an administration based on talent could be established when one has to count Tk 3 lakh to get a class-IV job?" Referring to the economic successes of China, he said, "I think it is the administration based on talent -- not the political cadres -- behind the rise of China."
The Institute of Good Governance (IGS) of BRAC University launched the report at the auditorium of Journalism Training and Research Initiative (Jatri) in the capital. The report included policy research on four subjects -- energy crisis, food security, digital Bangladesh and international labour migration.
Addressing the programme as the chief guest, Habibur Rahman, also a former chief justice, said it has become difficult for the bureaucracy to rule the officials who are in favour of the pro-ruling party since the independence. "As a result, system loss in the public service sector went up continuously," he said.
