He is like a jack of all trades but master of none. He was also a co-founder of Yunus’s failed political party. He was Saifur’s tail-wagging pet but was able to continue with Kibria while remaining staunchly loyal to BNP during AL’s 1996-2001 tenure. Consequently, he became
the cabinet secretary when BNP came back to power in 2001.

I think this guy is also holding a government post while bashing it at times. He may stab AL from behind again.

The only way people like Akbar Ali Khan or Younus can get to power is through army-backed puppet government like the f—–—- Fakruddin-Moin government supported by democracy-harming foreign governments and their locally stationed diplomat-cum-plotters.

The elected government does a lot lot more in reality but is hardly appreciated. For example the government hospitals handle a staggering number of patients on a daily basis at a fraction of fees private clinics,labs or hospitals charge but are hardly mentioned in the press.

This popularly elected government seems to be focused on coarse and fine tuning these efforts to help the poor where it matters the most.

Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) yesterday said its chairman’s comment on December 31 about the chief of the winning party in national polls was his personal opinion, not the TIB’s stance.

In a seminar titled “Curbing Corruption and Good Governance in future Bangladesh”, Prof Muzaffer Ahmad said, “The chief of the winning party, now on parole, should not swear in as the prime minister until the pending cases filed against her are disposed of.”

“The comment he [Muzaffer] made in the seminar is his own opinion; it is not TIB’s stance,” said a TIB’s press release yesterday.

It said there is no connection between the comment of its chairman Prof Muzaffer and the organisation.

TIB Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman said, “The people who participated in the elections maintaining proper process and were elected as peoples’ representatives are fully eligible to be sworn in as the members of the parliament as per the constitution and laws concerned.”

“Cases of corruption or breaching law would be disposed of as per proper legal and judicial process if they have any case or allegation against them,” he said in the press release.

TIB expects that the corruption allegations and other related issues would be settled through neutral judicial process, he said, adding that none can be regarded as guilty until being proved in proper judicial system.

At the same time it is not rational to deprive someone of constitutional rights on the basis of mere allegation or case, he said in the press release.

Bit Funny

Sushil Samaj never believed or will ever believe in democracy

Journalists and positive thinkers must realize our large neighbor does not sincerely want Bangladesh exploit our resources and fuel heir agents to create impediments. Mahajote must ensure that immediate actions are taken to explore our huge g high quality coal and Offshore Petroleum resources.

Had Hasina been so naive she would not have led her party to a landslide historic win. The more I see her the more confident I feel in her wisdom. She has matured lately. Nowadays, she talks more like a statesperson. I am sure she will transform into one of Asia’s best leaders.

Therefore, its unnecessary for anyone to advice on matters relating to statecraft steering before the victorious Awami League takes office. Hasina has a lot of confident and smart MPs and advisers to depend on.

She should concentrate and focus on home, foreign affairs, power and energy, oil and gas exploration, food price, agriculture, and LGRD first and foremost.

She must focus on food surplus, price reduction and law and order situation. She will need very capable people to manage finance and commerce, home, foreign, power, agriculture and food, telecommunications and LGRD ministries. This time it has to be a teamwork to honour the massive landslide for AWAMI LEAGUE.

I am sure Hasina has the managerial skill and intention to do so.

Talkshows with so-called civil society members is irritating and annoying.

Akbar Ali Khan was strongly behind Yunus’ failed political party when he launched it before the CTG took over. Yunus had thought he was more popular than Hasina and Khaleda. If this guy had contested his fate would have been worse than Badruddoza Choudhury or General Ibrahim.

Even today Akbar Ali is a member of a commission appointed by theFakruddin setup. I think he was the convener of his dhokabaji party. He is also an opportunist and a proponent of the World Bank and IMF axis to retard growth in poor countries through their disastrous prescriptions.

The new government will have to deploticise civil and military administration and offcourse will have to try war crminals.The new government will have to make its actions transparent so that people who voted them know what they are doing.There should not be any new Hawa bhaban.Identifie criminals of 1996-2001 like Hazary, Osman, Taher, Maya and likes must not be allowed to vitiate the politics.People will stand beside Hsian and her government if they endeavour sincerely to achieve what she pledged.
