SEND THEM TO BANGLADESH!

Remember the comments after the 2006 budget where some of the civil servants complained that they were not appreciated for their "hard work" (think National Registration Department and the Road Transport Department)They were given $50~$150 COLA, those earning less than $1,000 - 1.5 months bonus and the rest 1 month bonus subject to a minimium sum of $1,500. They should be thanking their lucky stars that they do not have to cari their "rezeki" in Bangladesh. Maybe a foreign exchange program for some of them may probably wake them up from their perpetual slumber and ingratitude.

Seventeen teachers and staff of the Bandarban Shishu Poribar Kendra under Social Welfare Department are not getting salary for 28 months.The project work was started in 1998. Its tenure expired on June 30 last year but the project was not included in the revenue budget.

Sources at the Kendra said the teachers and staff were recruited in May 2003. They are not getting salary since July 2003 as fund allocation was stopped following an allegation of corruption against its authorities.

The 100 boys housed at the Kendra are now being fed with voluntary food supplies from Bandarban Hill District Council, the sources said.

Social Welfare Minister Ali Ahsan Muhammad Muzahid during his visits to the Shishu Paribar last year and this year assured that either the project would be included in the revenue budget or funds for their salary would be disbursed, the sources claimed. But nothing has been done, they added.
Shafiqul Islam, Deputy Supervisor of the Shishu Paribar said letters were sent to higher authorities several times for sanctioning funds, but to no reply yet.
