Re: [chottala.com] Kill the white Elephants at our High Commission Offices in the World

Dear Mr.Shamim, While reading your GOOD ideas about cost reduction wings in various Bangladesh Missions overseas don't you think that the dumb idea of a defense attache in all the foreign missions are not required.(I salute your service to our country )but do not think that Bangladesh needs a branch called Army,because whom these guys are going to fight with? India?The Army is in Bangladesh as a major source of employment for some young people who once every few year kicks out the corrupt but democratically elected governament and grabs the power to build their future.While the previous group is enjoying their loots and the future group is in their planing state.It also spoils the purpose of grooming a smart(education related) student who joins the army visioning the super chair in the future instead joining other fields as a career where they realy have to work hard.

PM has taken a small number of  cabinet members in her team.Definitely, it is a very encouraging step for the country. Other  sectors should learn from her " expenditure- reduction" strategy. If I show  a high commission office without naming, it has total 50+ staff in a developed country, where price of everything  is 100 times  higher  than that of Bangladesh. Bangladesh govt pays their monthly salaries, house rents, telephone bills (including house one), car, fuel, 2/3 times travel expenses in a year to come to Bangladesh with family ( all expenses at the rate of the country where the embassy is operating). It is also astonishing to note that,many of  them are also allowed to bring a servant and driver with them. The govt also pays their drivers and servants' monthly salaries as well. It is more surprising that all employees enjoy two benefits, their normal salaries in Bangladesh also go to their accounts in Bangladesh. All poor people's money. I feel beneath dignity to remind you all about  the level of  exploitation of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A cost-benefit analysis will make the thing more clear. How much business or mutual diplomatic relationship they are maintaining! Billion of dollars are  going out of our country to only maintain the embassy offices in foreign countries.  I tell you a little care on this point, shall help to construct Padma Bridge very quickly.My suggestion is, pl keep only 2 staff (including defense personnel)in any  embassy office till Padma Bridge is constructed. Yes, our foreign ministry shall try to justify their position, how two persons can do the big  jobs? Those who are capable to maintain  an office with two persons, they should be posted.It may include any ministry/services. Think and suggest AL govt. I strongly believe they shall do good as they have wholehearted dedication for the country. Cheers  Maj Shamim (Retd) UK
