The promotion of some senior assistant secretaries to deputy secretary posts and that of some joint secretaries to additional secretary have been stuck again as the government is not interested in making decisions in this regard just before the polls.
In October, the public administration ministry in association with Superior Selection Board (SSB) prepared two lists of qualified officials to be promoted.
Abdus Sobhan Sikder, senior secretary of the public administration ministry, told the Dhaka Tribune: “We are working in this regard. But, promoting them will take a little more time because it is the time of elections and the government may not make decision.”
At least 85 joint secretaries were considered for promoting to additional secretary posts while around 220 for deputy secretary posts.
