Public-private partnership
The parliamentary committee chief did express great dissatisfaction on meter readers of Dhaka electricity distribution co. because of their unholy practices relating to meter reading, electricity bill making etc etc. Similar is the situation with Dhaka WASA meter readers cum revenue personnel. When the govt is preaching public-private partnership (PPP), the job of meter reading, bill making, bill serving and bill money collection may be given to large NGOs, so that consumers are not harassed by electricity or Wasa people. Since those authorities do possess records of individual holdings of the past, the performances can be judged on digitally prepared records. In the context of accountability and transparency, let the present government do something in the name of corruption control as depicted in the JS election pledge.
Let something happen in the name of Public-Private Partnership as practised globally.
