Help ministries instead of bossing, PM asks advisers
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday ordered the advisers to assist their respective ministries instead of bossing.
The directive came at a meeting with her advisers, directors and other officials of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The meeting was held for the first time after the government took over power, to bring an end to the distance and dispute between the advisers and the ministers.
At the meeting, she evaluated progress of the development activities and directed the advisers to give utmost importance to implement Awami League's electoral manifesto, said a highly placed source at the PMO.
Earlier, many ministers and state ministers complained to the prime minister that ministry activities have been hampered due to interference by the advisers. A few of them also attended offices of the respective ministries, they allege.
According to the prime minister's directives yesterday, every adviser will have to sit at the PMO from now on instead of going to the ministries.
"She has directed us to assist the ministries in carrying out its activities instead of bossing," an adviser told The Daily Star after the meeting. "The prime minister also directed us to work sincerely and in a coordinated way to implement Awami League's electoral manifesto," he said preferring not to be quoted.
Sheikh Hasina, also the president of ruling Awami League, expressed satisfaction over the performances of the officials and staff of the PMO.
