List government officials deprived of promotion
JS body asks establishment ministry
The parliamentary standing committee on the establishment ministry yesterday asked the ministry officials to explain why policy on promotion in civil administration has not been followed.
Dissatisfied over the issue, the parliamentary body also asked the ministry officials to bring transparency in promoting civil administration officials in future.
The ministry's senior officials were directed to prepare a list of officials deprived of promotion at different government organisations and submit it before the committee in the next meeting.
The committee discussed in detail about the policy that says how to promote government officials, said a member of the committee after the meeting at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
The JS body member quoted the ministry's additional secretary, who was present at the meeting, as saying, ''There is a superior service selection board (SSSB) led by the cabinet secretary who looks into the matter (promotion).''
Khandaker Asaduzzaman, chief of JS body and an Awami League MP, himself raised the issue and the committee members echoed with him. They said there are allegations that policy to promote civil service officials is hardly followed.
''We want a list of the deprived officials along with their service records in detail,'' said Asaduzzaman.
Following an allegation by Abu Talha, a member of the committee, the ministry was also asked to send notice to the government officials about how to behave with an MP.
