Muhith calls it ‘partial’
The government appointed commission on the Grameen Bank on Monday submitted its final report.
Finance minister AMA Muhith called it ‘a partial report’ as it gave no recommendations on GB’s 54 associate bodies, said officials preferring anonymity.
They said the finance minister had asked the GB commission chairman Mamunur Rashid to prepare another report incorporating the recommendations.
A major task of the GB commission was to find out the ties between the GB and its sisters concerns, they said.
The government also sought suggestions from the commission on streamlining the ties between the GB and its numerous concerns.
On Monday afternoon, the GB commission chairman submitted the report to the finance minister through e-mail, said the officials.
The report pointed out that the GB created 54 affiliated bodies flouting the rules, they said. But the report gave no suggestions as to what should be the future course of actions, they said.
Appointed on May 15, 2012, the government asked the commission to make recommendations for reforming Grameen Bank founded by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
The government extended the tenure of the GB commission thrice.
And the third extension expired on July 20, said officials.
In February, the GB commission submitted an interim report to the government proposing certain reforms.
In August, Ajmamul Hossain, a GB commission member, submitted a 44-page document to the finance minister, who refused to accept it as the report of the GB commission.
He told reporters that it was Ajmamul Hossain’s personal opinion.
