Govt needs trusted bureaucracy: Muhith

Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday said the country needs a dedicated bureaucratic system to bring dynamism in the government to implement the Vision 2021.
“A politically dedicated civil service is needed to execute the political pledges of the democratic government,” he said while addressing a reunion of the government officials trained under Managing at the Top (MATT) project at BICC in the city.
The finance minister opined that the development and service oriented political pledges of the democratically elected government are not implemented in a proper way without trusted bureaucracy.
The minister laid importance on regular training and recruitment in Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) to have an efficient administration.
Prime Minister's Adviser HT Imam attended the function as a special guest while Establishment Secretary Iqbal Mahmud was in the chair.
Cabinet Secretary Abdul Aziz, British Deputy High Commissioner in Dhaka Nick Low and MATT project's national coordinator Abu Bakar Siddiqui, spoke among, others on the occasion.
Laying importance on a bureaucracy with political mindset, Muhith said the ministers should have political adviser or secretary to bring dynamism in the administration.
