Small cabinet
Last Tuesday, the new prime minister and ministers took oath. Through the oath ceremony, Awami League president Sheikh Hasina was sworn in as the country's new prime minister and 32 surprise picks also were sworn as ministers to run the ministries. The people of Bangladesh were surprised after witnessing a small cabinet. It's also surprising to note that AL president Sheikh Hasina has left most of her senior party colleagues out of the new cabinet and brought some young, competent and talented people. It is also to be noted that, from 32 ministers, 24 are new and young who have no idea about the ministries. Though they are new and inexperienced, they are honest and competent persons. Now, they have to show their ability in future through firm decisions and activities because ability is something different from honesty.
Moreover, Bangladesh is now suffering from various crises and problems. In order to recover from the present situation, the new government and cabinet ministers have to face a lot of challenges in future. But the people have now become optimistic and hopeful about this small and fresh cabinet. We don't want to behold again and again the repetitions of ugliness and disasters like the BNP government and cabinet members invited earlier. As a Bangladeshi, I would like to congratulate the new Prime minister Sheikh Hasina for bringing about a great change. And we are waiting to see more changes like this in future too.
