Establishment Secy Speaks of 'Vision 2021'

'Admin being prepared to build digital Bangladesh'

Staff Correspondent
Establishment Secretary ASM Ali Kabir yesterday said they have started preparing the civil administration to implement the ’Vision 2021' and build a digital Bangladesh' as planned by the Awami League-led grand alliance government.
"Vision 2021, the charter for change and digital Bangladesh are being talked u about nowadays to help build a prosper-~ ous Bangladesh. We have started preparing the administration to be capable to work to this end," he said at a press briefing at the establishment ministry.
"Although this job is a lengthy and complicated one. we are hopeful of its success and will continue to work tirelessly in this regard," he added.
Secretary Ali Kabir also claimed that the acts of chanting slogans, holding banners and showering flowers by the employees welcoming the new' ministers at the Secretariat were not tantamount to violation of service rules.
"They have been involved in trade union for long. 1 don’t think such acts are
punishable offences. These are not the big issues," he said while replying to a question from a reporter.
He. however, said action would be taken if any complaints are filed in this regard.
The establishment secretary, who was forced into retirement by the previous BNP-Jamaat government but got back his job during the tenure of the caretaker government after challenging the decision in the High Court, also said that the process of transfer, posting and promotion is being made in the right way during this government.
"There is no political pressure or partisan influence on the administration," he said, adding that 10 additional secretaries were promoted to secretaries while 72 joint secretaries were made additional secretaries during the ongoing shake-up in the administration.
He also said that the process of promoting 80 deputy secretaries to joint secretaries is in the final stage.
When asked about officers being made OSD. he said none li ne been made offi-
cers on special duty (OSD) wrongly.
"There are many reasons behind someone being made an OSD. The number of such officers is now much less than during the tenure of the previous governments," said Ali Kabir, who was the chairman of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTA) before being appointed as the acting establishment secretary on January 12.
The AL government, in its first reshuffle in the administration, appointed Ali Kabir as the acting establishment secretary. Later, he was made secretary of the ministry.
At the press briefing, Ali Kabir also said many efficient officers who were denied promotion in the past are now getting their due promotion. But he denied that political considerations have played any role in the process.
He said the Superior Selection Board (SSB) will now hold meetings regularly so that promotion is given on regular basis and there should be no backlog of such cases.
