Talking too much without knowing & understanding correctly of any matter is not good.

Care taker system in Bangladesh is proved that the politicians of Bangladesh are not wise, are not efficient, are not faithful & are not dependable. They are all money hunkers & power looters. It is also proved all political party in Bangladesh is indirectly guided bythe brain of Jamati Islami. The Idea of CTG in Bangladesh has come from the brain from Jamati Islami. All party aim is the Jamati Islam how can bring near to them or ban it. Doing this politic the all political are proving that they are scaring or loving the Jamati Islami.

So it is now very clear that after liberation of Bangladesh all political party are indirectly guided by Jamati Islami & Bangladesh is ruling indirectly or directly by the brain of the Jamati Islami.

Causes

Other politicians & political party are system less brainless wise less & top class Chapabaj/

Care Taker Government is the legal government under the system of legally elected president. There is no any chance for any political party to come in power by removing the CTG without winning in the election.

So the SONAR Tokra Pitala Kolosh of our Dear Politicians if you want to come in power then listen what say CTG?.

Do work what say CTG??

Take Preparation to contest the Election,

Do good works be good man & good woman for getting people's vote to win in the Election.

If you do hartal if you do breaking works burning works destroy any public property destroy children education & education system then the police constable or answers will beat you will arrest you & will send you to the monkey house.

If you think this CTG will fall down then another CTG will come in power. If you think the elected President will be out then full Marshal law will come in Bangladesh.

Causes until election held there is no chance for any political party to come in power................. No any chance.

The fate of the caretaker government - going forward

On and off, there has been a talk about the need and justification of the caretaker government. Our intellectuals and politicians are acting as if they actually have some grey material.

Please allow us tell you one thing in a very plain language and propose something very humbly.

If our post-independence politicians have done anything good for themselves and for the country, it is the idea, demand and implementation of caretaker government system. The way this idea evolved and eventually got implemented, this is true example of participatory policy innovation where situation had driven the eventual solution to an acute problem that we had.

It is significant for various reasons from the context of political culture of Bangladesh. First of all, this is significant because it is probably one instance where our politicians have spoken the truth, they have acknowledged that they have a problem. And they actually worked to solve the problem. Now, nindukera will say that they neither tell the truth to rescue the country nor they had the best interest of the general people behind this policy. Rather they used their brain here because it was about the ruti-ruji'r vaga-vagi for them! But let us forget that aspect for today. After all, we want to look forward.

So, what is the problem with this rule?

There is no problem. Actually, we think this is a rule that will be copied or should be copied in most of the under-developep countries. Why do we think so? Because, this rule recognizes the limitation of an election-based democratic system for a soceity which is not educated enough, a system which has not developed the institutions to check and balance the problems of a democracy. The system of caretaker government acutally enforces some of the check and balance into the system nicely.

Off course, this is also an indication of a weak democracy - a demonstration of not-so-developed system. In other words, as long as we or any other country have it, it will be an indication that we have a problem within our system. Probably, thats why our intellects are trying to give lesson to us. They are like haturey dactars. You have a disease - but they would like you to beleive that you have been cured! This exactly have been happening in our national porimondol during the last several decades. We think there is still need for the system of caretaker system. It is not only a demonstration of our weakness, but it also is a demonstration of our effort that we are working towards fixing the problem. At least, this system prevents a negative progression.

Ok, ok, lets assume we are working towards fixing the problem - but when would we be done fixing it? How would we know?

This off course is a koti takar prosno. But we think this can be solved by some modification in the act. Election commission should consider making a minor amendment in the rules of the national election. The idea is something like this:

During a national election every five years, the election commission can hold a parallel referendum asking a simple question - "Do you think our next national election should not be held under a caretaker government?" So, during the election people will send a slate of MP to the parliament. At the same time, they will also mention whether they think the upcoming government will be in power during the next election or whether a caretaker government should be installed for the next election. For example, say during the upcoming election, Party X may win the parliament but at the same time people might give a NO VOTE for the Party X. In other words, people sends this Party X to form the government, but they do not think that the national institutions are strong enough to rely on Party X to hold the next national election. So, when the time of next national election comes, a caretaker government will be formed to hold that election. This would be repeated indefinitely. Or if the people do not want the caretaker government for a consecutive five times, we may then declare that our system is now developed enough to repeal the system of caretaker government. There might be other minor things that can be done to improve the current provision of the caretaker government. But on broad scale, we should not think that our system has already outgrown the need of the system. Not yet.

Makes sense?

If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

[Shadeshi_Bondhu] Tk 588.4 crore in fine - how many has been held accountable

Tk 588.4 crore in fine - how many has been held accountable

A crime of this proportion should not only be restricted on paying fine. A process should be developed that allows the law enforcement agencies to get into deeper to held accountable those who were responsible

Five organizations - four for-profit joint venture organizations and one government watchdog. And among them, a total of 588 crore taka of fines. See the following news item attached at the end of the article. The four companies had actually done the wrong, and the government agency didn't do anything to right the worng. Actually, many would argue that the BTRC was actually facilitating the theft over the years.

While the fines are good news, it is incomplete.

Within these five organizations, how many has been held accountable so far? The companies has been fined. But how many of the individuals has been fined?

Punishment on the individual level may not be our main objective, but what is there to deter similar kind of abuse in the future? Can we at least know who were the responsible person in policy-making positions who oversaw this mess, had the capacity to make policies to avoid the mess, but didn't do anything? Again, to emphasize the point, we are worried about the whereabouts of those persons now - what new mess are they are creating now (either because of their incompetence or because of their dishonesty or both) that the nation will know few years later?

If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

Illegal VoIP

Tk 150cr fine slapped on Citycell

MD Hasan

Source: http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=19191

Citycell, the country's oldest mobile phone operator, has been fined Tk 150 crore by the telecom regulator for its involvement in illegal VoIP or international call termination.

The company has already paid Tk 75 crore to the telecom watchdog--Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) -- and the rest of the amount will be paid within a short time in two instalments, BTRC sources said.

Citycell is the fourth mobile operator to be fined for their involvement in the VoIP scandal. Grameenphone, the country's largest operator was fined Tk 168.4 crore, Aktel Tk 145 crore and Banglalink Tk 125 crore. In total Tk 588.4 crore will be deposited with the government exchequer as compensation.

VoIP made it possible to terminate international calls illegally as only Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB), the state owned body, had the right to do this.
