A year after the July Uprising laid bare the disarray within public administration, the government is intensifying efforts to restore order through a series of tough reforms aimed at strengthening institutional discipline and accountability.
Since the interim government assumed office in August last year, officials at various levels of the civil administration have engaged in rallies, sit-ins, human chains, and “pen break” protests, particularly in response to the restructuring and division of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
The government has responded with disciplinary action against those participating in such movements, reports UNB.
Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration Mukhlesur Rahman told UNB that the government is maintaining a firm position on disorderly conduct by officials.
“Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has directed a strict stance on such issues. From now on, if any government official or employee engages in unjustified movements against the government, legal action will be taken,” he said.
He mentioned that the administration is adhering to a ‘zero tolerance’ policy to ensure transparency and accountability in the civil service.
