Finance Ministry Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed on Friday 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.
Dr. Saleh Uddin 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 referendum.
He noted that there has never been a reform in Bangladesh for the people; changes have always been party-based.
