Faiz Tayyab’s arbitrariness and corruption are being exposed one by one

Opinion

Faiz Tayyab Ahmed and many others like him often say things like, “If you open your mouth, many gentlemen’s underwear will be exposed!”

Why do they never open their mouths? What do they get for not opening their mouths?

We want people who not only work, but also speak out if someone hinders the country’s progress.

I can say one thing, having seen the paper with my own eyes. During the interim period in Bangladesh, an initiative was taken to purchase software at a price many times higher, worth several thousand crores of taka. The country’s top experts and experienced software entrepreneurs have said that the employment of local software engineers will be destroyed for many years to come. The details of how far this purchase has progressed are not known due to this secrecy.

AI could shrink this sector in the future, so a policy with experts and people who understand the direction of the economy was needed. But this software was purchased secretly.

Journalists have asked for documents but have not received them. Even during the interim period, a top research institute in the country requested these ministries to reveal old procurement documents. They have been rejected.

If the massive corruption that occurs in Bangladesh due to secrecy is not brought to light, I am less interested in the claim of being personally honest, because there is no way to verify it.

In fact, despite the efforts of many of the country’s top researchers, professors, and entrepreneurs, they were unable to stop these wasteful and corrupt sectors during the interim period. However, there was an opportunity to turn the tide in the software sector during this time.
