Foul play behind delay
“A Tender process for 300 MW Power Plant Project in Ghorashal, crucial to mitigating the countries Power Supply crisis, is set to be cancelled in the face of a tussle between the communication minister and power development board” The 'Daily Star' November 10, 2010. The report also said, “Incidentally, Abul Hossain's family-owned company Sahco is representing a Chinese company that could not become the lowest bidder in the same tender. .....Until Abul Hossain became a minister in 2009 he was the chief of Sahco”.
We all know that a man may be minister by the blessings of a particular political party. But a man cannot be a Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, or an Educationist, without some minimum level of intelligence and IQ. Sitting on the chair of a separate ministry “Pointing finger at the PDB Chairman” (Daily Star, November 10, 2010) and accusing him of allegations not only looks indecent but also creates unnecessary humiliation for the organization.
I am running 68 and finished my B.Sc. Engineering (Elec) in 1963 and have dissociated myself from the professional job long ago. Yet I feel insulted when a man other than departmental minister insults the PDB Chief. The minister has little idea about Power House running and its proper and efficient maintenance.
The Prime Minister and Finance Minister cannot disagree that modern civilization is the fruit of science and technology. We cannot aspire to be self sufficient in power by hurting skilled engineers and technicians.
