CA urges all to accept reform reports

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has urged all stakeholders to accept the reports of the reform commissions and take necessary steps for their implementation.

Speaking at a function held at the State Guest House Jamuna, he expressed confidence that the reports would receive unanimous support.

The Public Administration Reform Commission, led by Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, and the Judiciary Reform Commission, headed by Justice Shah Abu Naeem Mominur Rahman, formally presented their reports to the chief adviser during the event. Members of both commissions were also in attendance.

Professor Yunus acknowledged past experiences of harassment, humiliation, and neglect of fundamental rights. However, he expressed optimism that the submitted reform reports would serve as a foundation for restoring people’s rights and freedoms.

He emphasized that the reports would be shared with citizens, political parties, and civil society members to build consensus on their implementation. Recognizing their significance, he described the reform reports as historic documents for Bangladesh and extended his gratitude to the commission chairpersons and members for their contributions.

Beyond national impact, Professor Yunus remarked that the reports hold global relevance. “I consider these reports assets for the world, and they will have a place in history,” he stated.

On September 11, 2024, the chief adviser announced the formation of six reform commissions. The remaining four—Electoral System Reform Commission, Police Administration Reform Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission Reform Commission, and Constitution Reform Commission—submitted their reports on January 15.
