Finance Ministry Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Friday, January 16, asked government officials to be patient regarding the new pay scale.
He said the pay scale has been prepared after 10 years.
“There are many calculations. A committee has been formed. They are working. After the committee submits its report, the scale will be implemented,” he said.
He added that funding is the main issue and assured that there is no reason to be discouraged.
Salehuddin Ahmed made the remarks while inspecting the Gurudaspur Upazila Mini Stadium in Natore.
He was accompanied by Cabinet Secretary Dr Sheikh Abdur Rashid, Finance Secretary Dr Sheikh Khairuzzaman Majumdar, Secretary of the Economic Relations Division Md Shahriar Kader Siddiqui, and other senior officials.
The finance adviser also said that everyone should vote in favor of the referendum.
He noted that there has never been a reform in Bangladesh for the people; changes have always been party-based.
He further added, “Through the referendum, the political government will gain strength in the future. That is why the government is speaking in favor of public voting.”
The adviser praised the mini stadium during his visit.
Natore Deputy Commissioner Asma Shahin briefed him about the facilities.
