The government yesterday forced 22 more officials into retirement, raising the number of disciplined bureaucrats to 67 for their questionable role as deputy commissioners in the 2014 and 2018 sham elections under the Awami League regime.
The government has decided to take disciplinary action against 110 to 120 officials, including former deputy commissioners (DCs) and divisional commissioners still in service, who played significant roles in the engineered elections during the Awami League’s rule.
The truth is, we have made a shambles of our elections and have weakened most of the accountability structures.
Such an extraordinary emphasis on having elections in some constituencies make us wonder whether there’s more to this than meets the eye.
