Staff Correspondent: Dhaka, Jul-27,
In a stern warning to
errant public servants, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday said no
irregularities in their jobs will be tolerated.
"As you get rewarded
for your good job, there’s no mercy for any misdeed. You’ll also have to face
tough punishment for that [misdeed]," she said.
The prime minister said
this while inaugurating National Public Service Day 2018 and distributing
Public Administration Award 2018 at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium.
She joined the
programme virtually from her official residence Ganobhaban.
Hasina said the public
servants of Bangladesh are the people of this country as they did not come from
Pakistan and their kith and kin are there across the country.
"The more
Bangladesh will prosper, the much better life your close ones will have. Work
for the country with that line of thinking," she said.
The PM asked the public
servants to maintain professionalism, honesty, sincerity and devotion, and to
work with innovative ideas which will be beneficial for people.
Earlier, the prime
minister distributed Public Administration Medals 2020 and 2021.
Thirty-six officials
and organisations got the medals for their outstanding performances in their
respective fields.
Liberation War Affairs
Minister AKM Mozammel Huq distributed the medals on behalf of the Prime
Minister.
State Minister for
Public Administration Ministry Farhad Hossain, Cabinet secretary Khandker
Anwarul Islam and Public Administration secretary KM Ali Azam also spoke at the
programme.
The Prime Minister also
unveiled a book titled, 'Administration of Bangabandhu', at the event.
