Dhaka : The Bangladesh government will set up an electronic registry system this month to enable Bangladesh nationals to have access to the country’s regulations, officials said Tuesday.
Officials said Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed is expected to inaugurate the first ever e-registry system on Feb. 20 to lessen the hassles people face in obtaining government orders, gazette notifications and rules.
“Nothing will be concealed. People will be able to find any rules with just a click,” Establishment Secretary Abdus Salam Khanwas quoted by leading English newspaper The Financial Express as saying on Wednesday.
“The initiative is part of the government’s policy to ensure Right to Information. If fully developed, the web site will provide all new and old government orders and gazette notifications for the intending users,” he told the newspaper.
Since independence, the country has got a plethora of rules and orders, but those cannot be found in books or offices much to the misery of the public.
The establishment secretary said the new system would allow a Bangladesh citizen to retrieve a relevant rule quickly from any place in the world.
Ministry officials said that initially, people would be able to find new gazette notifications on the designated website, but old ones would be posted on subject-wise and ministry-wise later.
