The government has decided to examine the certificates of freedom fighters’ sons and daughters during the process of application for recruitment.
Currently, the certificates are scrutinised just before recruitment, which ultimately causes delay for the applicants to join work.
On February 19, the Liberation War affairs ministry issued a circular in this regard.
“We have faced various problems during recruitment because of examining the certificates just before recruitment,” State Minister for Public Administration Ismat Ara Sadique told the Dhaka Tribune at her Secretariat office yesterday.
She said applicants most often submitted certificates at the last moment.
The circular of the Liberation War affairs ministry says it receives the certificates for verification at the eleventh hour which delays the recruitment. The recruits cannot also join work timely and ultimately become juniors to others from the same recruitment process.
Neither the minister nor the secretary of the Liberation War affairs ministry was available for comment.
Sons and daughters of freedom fighters enjoy a 30% quota in government jobs in Bangladesh.
