Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said the country has been able to maintain the desired economic growth despite deepening global financial worries.
“Despite the global economic downtrend, the country has achieved the expected economic growth due to various pragmatic steps taken by our government,” the prime minister told the newly elected office bearers of Officers’ Club.
The office bearers, led by its ex-officio Chairman and Cabinet Secretary Muhammad Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan and General Secretary Abu Alam Mohammad Shahid Khan, met the prime minister at her office.
Hasina said the government is moving ahead foiling all the conspiracies against the country by vested quarters. “Our path towards progress is not smooth, it’s rather bumpy,” the PM said.
She directed the government officials to work with utmost honesty, sincerity and devotion from their respective positions for quick implementation of various development programmes of her government.
The premier said every government takes various development programmes in line with its election manifesto and the role of government officials is very important in implementing those.
“Ahead of elections, we (political parties) declared our election manifestos and after assuming office, we try hard to implement those through various development progarmmes. You (officials) are the main arm to implement those programmes effectively,” she said.
Hasina mentioned that the present government like its previous term has ensured working environment for the government officials for attaining the desired development of the country. “Our aim is just to develop the country for the betterment of people.”
Press Secretary to the Prime Minister Abul Kalam Azad briefed reporters after the meeting.
The PM’s press secretary said Hasina told the officials that the country could not attain the desired development in the last 40 years as the political party that had led the war of independence was out of power for a long time.
She also said the country could not reach its expected position due to frequent disruption of democratic process. “Most of the time either military rulers or military-backed governments ruled the country,” she said adding that without democracy development is impossible.
About women empowerment, Hasina mentioned that the government has recruited a good number of female officials to various top positions and claimed that the process of promoting women officers began during her previous tenure.
Among others, PMO secretary Molla Waheeduzzaman was present.
