Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan, the adviser for the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, has called for a departure from a culture of praise, emphasizing that performance will now be measured using real indicators rather than statistics.
In a meeting on Sunday at the ministry’s conference room with officials from the Energy and Mineral Resources Division and heads of various affiliated offices, the adviser stressed that evaluations will be based on customer service and satisfaction.
He highlighted the need for a change in mindset, urging that the new generation bring fresh ideas to their work.
Paying tribute to the martyrs of the Liberation War and student movements, the adviser said: “If development stories were true, would people have to take to the streets? We need to understand how outsiders view us and act accordingly."
“We must adopt a policy of austerity, eliminating unnecessary expenses, but work output should not decrease. We need to achieve more with less money. Value for money is essential,” he added.
He also instructed everyone to ensure transparency in tendering processes through open procedures.
