National ID card
Dr Abu Saleh, On e-mail
Bangladesh is going through a crisis in holding a free and fair election. For a credible election, a correct voter list is mandatory. In Bangladesh, we never had a correct voter list; whereas, a fair election determines peace, stability and overall development of a democratic country. This poor country has already spent substantial amount of public money in the name of preparing of a voter list, updating the same and voter ID cards. We can't afford to spend huge amount of public money repeatedly for experimental listing. The system of complete population census, voter list and national ID card, is a continuous process and it should be done by govt. agencies, not by any company or organisation whose main objective is profit-making. If each ID card costs Taka 50 to 70 then for a family of 10 members it will cost Taka 500 to 700 which is excessive.I sincerely believe the total project can be completed at half the cost and I have the expertise to do the job with the help of local govt., health dept. and related depts, imparting a few weeks' intensive training for fieldwork. I have worked in this field successfully in a foreign country for seven years. I'll be very much obliged if I can be of any help to the govt. or in broad sense to the nation.
