The blessed bureaucrat
Shamsher Chowdhury, Dhaka
I read with extreme disgust the news report published in your esteemed daily of 27 October. The blessed bureaucrat you have referred to in your report is typically representative of the mindset of most of our bureaucrats and lawmakers. I am sad but not surprised. I have experienced such debilitating acts by many of our senior bureaucrats while dealing with scores of them during the 80s and 90s. However it must be said that some of the donor agencies providing funds for the visits are also to be blamed. Why does a donor agency continue to fund and accept a candidate of a different calling for which the resources are actually meant for? Using of a fancy vehicle for either official or private purposes is a regular practice amongst senior bureaucrats. Now that you have exposed the matter the concerned bureaucrat contrary to "our" belief, perhaps will emerge as an individual stronger than before. Why not, since our government from here onwards will back up all her actions ever more.
