Promotion of 17 bank officials as GM still undecided
Star Business Report
Although the posts of 17 general managers (GM) in different government banks and financial institutions are lying vacant for a long time, the process of promotion of some bank officials to these posts is yet to be finalised by the government. Sources said the immediate past four-party alliance government deprived the officials, who were on the promotion panel list prepared by the Bangladesh Bank, of their due elevation on political consideration. On assumption of office by the present caretaker government, the finance ministry sent a recommendation to the Office of the Chief Adviser for promotion of the bank officials. But the recommendation has been sent back to the ministry without showing any reason. Talking to the Daily Star one of the officials claiming to be deprived said the present government has already promoted some of the officials deprived, but it should immediately complete the promotion process, which, he hoped, would infuse dynamism into the banking sector. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance is learnt to have decided to constitute a committee to consider promotion of around 200 high officials of the state- owned banks. The deprived officials, however, sought immediate action by such a committee to end the impasse in their promotion. The officials concerned are Tapan Kumar Ghos, Mustak Ahmed and Abu Ahmed Jafar Iqbal of Sonali Bank, Nur Mohammad of Janata Bank, Jebun Nahar and Masud Ahmed Khan of Agrani Bank, Abul Hasnat, Nurul Amin and Rafizuddin of Rupali Bank, Masud Ahmed Khan of Bangladesh Krishi Bank, Debdas of Kormosongsthan Bank and Dr Provash Chandra Roy of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank.
