Two more reform commissions submit reports to Chief Advisor

On Wednesday, February 4, two important reform commissions, the Public Administration Reform Commission and the Judiciary Reform Commission, handed over their reports to the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government, Professor Muhammad Yunus. 

This marks a significant step in the ongoing reforms in Bangladesh.

The heads of both commissions presented the reports at the State Guest House Jamuna in the capital. 

Prior to submitting the reports, members of the Public Administration Reform Commission had gathered for a final meeting at the Ministry of Public Administration on Tuesday.

When asked about the recommendations, Abdul Moyeed Chowdhury, the head of the Public Administration Reform Commission, chose not to share much information. 

He simply mentioned, "There are more than 100 recommendations."

Md. Mokhlesur Rahman, the Commission’s member secretary and Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration, added, 

"Once the report is submitted, it will be a public document. It will be available on the website for everyone to access."

In addition, a press briefing has been scheduled for 2:00 pm today by the Chief Advisor’s Press Wing to provide more details about the reports.

These two commissions are part of the six reform commissions formed last October by the Cabinet Division. 

The reports from other commissions—focused on the Constitution, Electoral System, Anti-Corruption Commission, and Police Reforms—were already submitted on January 15. 

The remaining two reports were handed over today.

The government announced that the full reports from all six commissions will be made public on February 8. 

After that, the Chief Advisor will meet with representatives from all political parties and pro-democracy groups to discuss the recommendations. 

These discussions are set to take place in mid-February.
