Polls-Time Govt

Shujan rolls out two options

Staff Correspondent
Amid political turmoil over polls-time government, Sushasoner Jonno Nagorik (Shujan) yesterday placed two alternative frameworks for a government to oversee the next general election.
The first alternative proposes an 11 -member interim government consisting of five MPs each from the ruling 14-party alliance and the opposition 18-party alliance, and a nonpartisan individual to head the government.
A 15-member government has been
proposed in the second alternative. This government, Shujan said, would have five MPs each from the 14-party alliance and the 18-party alliance, and five nonpartisan persons. And one of the five nonpartisan individuals would be at the helm of the government.
Badiul Alam Majumder, secretary of Shujan, a civil society platform working for good governance, mooted the proposals at a press conference at Jatiya Press Club in the capital.

Reading from a statement, he said a search committee consisting of retired chief justices could be formed to pick the members of the election-time government.
The nonpartisan member/s nominated by the search committee, however, will have to be elected through by-elections to comply with the constitutional provision that no unelected person can be in the government.
Shujan also has some conditions for the members of the said government according to which none of the polls-time government mem-
bers would be able to contest the next parliamentary elections or conduct any election campaign.
According to the proposals, the tenure of the government will be 90 days starting from October 27 this year, and besides discharging the routine duties, the government will provide all necessary supports to the Election Commission to hold fair elections.
Badiul Alam Majumder said the polls-time government formulas were aimed at finding a feasible solution to the existing political crisis. He, however, mentioned that the goodwill of the
two major alliances was the prerequisite for solving the crisis.
If the leaders of the two alliances failed to immediately reach a consensus on the polls-time government, the nation would have to pay an extreme price, he warned.
Former advisers to caretaker government SM Shahjahan and M Hafiz Uddin Khan, columnist Syed Abul Moksud, Justice (retired) Kazi Ebadul Haque, Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Zafrullah Chowdhury and local government expert Prof Tofail Ahmed also spoke at the press conference.
