MNA National Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday asked the public servants to do the work for the people’s benifit, abstaining the ‘red tape culture’.
“There’ll be complexities in every work…once there was a red tape culture; now we’re using white tape (in public office files), but it doesn’t imply that the work will be getting quicker for using the white tape as the red tape (culture) still exists,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this while inaugurating National Public Service Day 2018 and distributing Public Administration Award 2018 at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka, reported news agency.
She asked the public servants to eliminate the ‘red tape culture’ and not put government works on hold.
“Make it sure that no work remains stuck, no work should be kept aside. It happens sometimes that a public servant doesn’t show much interest in a particular file and it’s kept aside the table, sometimes that the public servant forgets about that file or loses it.”
The Prime Minister directed the public servants to think first about what the results and benefits their works will bring in for the country and its people. “You have to think those first…you’ve to work in that manner and think about the welfare of the grassroots people.”
The programme was addressed, among others, by State Minister for Public Administration Ismat Ara Sadeq and Cabinet
Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam. Public Administration Secretary Faiz Ahmed delivered the welcome address.
Earlier, the prime Minister distributed Public Administration Medal 2018.
