PM tells public servants Work for people who pay for your salaries

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday asked the public servants to devote themselves to the welfare of the people who pay taxes for their salaries, comforts and luxuries.

“All of you are getting salaries and perks from the money paid by the mass people as taxes. All including your comfort and luxury are coming from the money of the people. So you have to work for them, for their interest and welfare,” she said, reports UNB.

Hasina was speaking at a programme marking the National Public Services Day and distribution of Bangabandhu Public Administration Award 2022 held at Osmani Memorial Auditorium. She joined the programme virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban.

She said that socio-economic development of the grassroots people is the main target of the government.

“And our government works keeping that aim in its mind,” said the premier.

She said that the government wants to take the administrative system to the doorsteps of the mass people so that every employee of the republic could perform their responsibilities that have been specified in the Constitution of the country.

The PM said that to develop a country there should be a specific goal, a specific direction and philosophy.

And for that there should be a formulation of a work-plan and its proper implementation. That means the duties towards the people is the main task for all,” she said.

She mentioned that the government is creating a congenial atmosphere in the work place so that the public servants can perform their duties fearlessly and smoothly.

“For that the government has taken a number of steps. Our target is to make the administrative structure time befitting,” she said.

The prime minister said that the government has taken a special initiative to let the public servants purchase their vehicles and flats borrowing money from the government.
