New organogram to restructure Board of Investment

October 3, 2000

Dhaka (UNB) – The government has approved a new organogram for restructuring the Board of Investment after 12 years of its formation, demanding which employees stopped activities for few days last December.

Employees of the investment promotion organisation, BOI, have been working on deputation since its inception in 1989.

Prime Minister and BOI chairperson Sheikh Hasina approved the BOI-proposed organogram recently, said an announcement yesterday (Monday).

A high-powered committee headed by the defense secretary framed the modern setup reviewing the organisational structures of investment-development organisations in industrialised countries.

“The new structure gives special attention to information technology for bringing modern office management and created posts for specialised sector,” the release said.

Sources said as per the new organogram, posts of officers increased by cutting down clerical jobs. There will be a total of 299 employees from now on instead of 325, mostly captured by clerks.

Some of the clerks will now be designated as investment officers under the new management, they said.

They said the new organogram provided the employees with all government facilities, including pension, to mitigate their uncertainty, frustration and dissatisfaction. All expenses of the investment organisation used to be met from special allocations.

BOI employees congratulated their executive chairman M Mokammel Huq for his personal initiative to have the board redesigned and expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister, said the statement.
