Mujibul Huq, formed to examine the justifications, rationale, possibilities of pay increase of the employees of the government, semi-government and autonomous bodies taking into consideration government revenue generation, financial capacity, market index and other relevant issues and submit a report with the recommendation for implementation by the government. Anomalies in pay-structures and mismatch in promotion prospects, disparity between services, rationalization of pay-fixation, etc were its responsibilities. As the member-secretary of the NPC my responsibilities were to mobilize the NPC secretariat towards collection of data, information, statistics, reference materials; offer secretarial services to the Commission, collating, typing and printing of reports, holding meeting with various representative groups to share their views, suggestions, objections, demands, grievances and put those on record for use in the report and finally help submit the report within due time. This Commission submitted the Pay Commission Report within the shortest possible time ever, obviously under my bold leadership and challenge despite unwillingness of the Commission including the Chairman to submit the report as early as I had make them do. That was really a great challenge, indeed. During the period of working as the MS of the NPC, I had the rare chances and opportunities to look into the government systems,its financial management, the economy as a whole, the prospect and challenge a nation comes across at points of transformation, including the process of taking decision on such very important and relevant issues the implementation of which do have tremendous impact on the economy, finance and social stratification of a resource-starved country like Bangladesh. I learned a lot from this responsibility. Show less
