Planning minister criticises govt officials for delay in disposal of files

Criticising government officials for the delay in disposal of files, Planning Minister MA Mannan said, "If you (govt officials) take salary and benefits, you have to work fast and on time".

The minister said this at a consultation meeting on the formulation of the new Annual Development Programme Preparation (ADP) held at Bangabandhu International Conference Center today.

Talking about the new formulation of ADP, the minister said, many may ask about the benefit of doing this. "There may be disagreement over the government decision but you (govt officials) have to work for the disposal of files keeping their thoughts aside," he said.

Calling upon government officials not to leave work for tomorrow, the minister asked them to fulfill the responsibility on their shoulders.
