Publish a postmortems report of a failure – A request on behalf of ICT community
CTG should answer to the Youth, specifically to the every jobless youth! We want a white paper on the specific corruption and incompetence on information superhighway
There has been a lot of politics by our politicians about the conspiracy with our national interest i.e. conspiracy against Bangladesh. Some would say this is bogus, some would say that at least some of these are true. We do not want to be bogged down in this worthless debate since the debates of these conspiracy theories usually do not result in any good outcome.
In today’s world order it is foolish to go after territorial sovereignty of a nation state, the kind that Mrs. Khaleda or Mrs. Hasina or Mr. Ershad used to play with.
Coming back to our topic for today, we want to emphasize one point. If there are were any conspiracy against the nation of Bangladesh, most demonstrable evidence is the fact that it took us about 20 years to be connected to the international submarine cable Internet backbone. What better way to bar an opportunity, what better way to destroy the possibilities of a nation and a generation? This was a crime of worst category against the whole generation of youth of Bangladesh, specifically
against those who are poor and in need of work.
We would like to request exposure of all the sequence of happenings – the collection of activities regarding this. We want a pictorial representation of the flowchart of events about what happened in different time-segments related to Bangladesh not being connected to submarine cable. In this story of shame, we know, there are many stakeholders.
Who are the experts related to these, who are the politicians related to this, who are the members of bureaucracy and businessman related to this? We want a transparent picture of all the events, and people related to this sad story.
Govt. high officials, private businesses as well as our members of higher court are part of this shame. We want a clear picture of events and want to know the names of those persons, including their present occupation, position and responsibilities at the time of their low-points in career. We also want to know what kind of capability and training they have gained after their poor show of competence on those matters.
For those who do not have a good idea of the missed opportunity, i.e. what we have lost because of this conspiracy against our nation, we would like to request the knowledgeable members of this forum to share their opinion. Say for example, if the government of Bangladesh had accepted the free offer to connect to the backbone, what could have happened? What we have lost so far?
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the members of the CG, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.
We hope the CG would consider this appeal seriously. We mean it.
