Mokabbir Khan, Member of Parliament of Ganoforum, said that today is extremely chaotic in the public administration, they do not believe in the current of the Presidency. Some of the employees of the Republic consider themselves to be a self-proclaimed Marshal Isube Khan or his followers.The decisions that are against the people and the people are against the people and the people who are free to do as they wish.
He said, if you go to any ministry, you will see that even if the secretary, additional secretary or joint secretary has the signature of the minister, he does not work properly, does not give importance. If the district and upazila level officials go anywhere, it seems that a high-ranking minister of the government has gone there. In most of the offices, he hesitates to give the respect to the public representatives. In some cases, the ministers are also willing to show their respects.
Moqabbir Khan said the government thought the public administration would protect them through the Election Commission, which is not a good sign, which will further lead to chaos in the public administration. The foundation of the institutions will be weakened, the public interest will be disrupted, how our parliamentarians are disrespected by some bureaucrats, if given guidance on this People's representatives and people will be respected. Independent Member of Parliament Rezaul Karim demanded that the government to enter government service should be 35 years. He said that the job limit has been fixed for 35, 40, 55 years in the developed countries of the world. But if the limit of employment is at a very low level in Bangladesh, the unemployment problem will be reduced to 35 years.
