Where did you find racist term in my post??? I was just refuting the claim that 24/47 secretaries are Hindu though real number of Secretaries is around 68. Not only Sonali Bank but also each and every top position of every organization is traded. From 50 lakh to as much high as it can go... This is not only the case of this government but past governments as well. Government organizations should be free from political influence. Otherwise nothing better can be expected from that.
This is another example...
Allegation of corruption against Wasa MD

Allegation of massive corruption has been raised against Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa) managing director Taksim A Khan.
Major allegation against Taksim is that he has been drawing double salaries and getting other financial benefits for more than two years.
Taksim A Khan is allegedly doing irregularities by using his political influence, sources said.
After assumption of office by the Awami League-led Grand Alliance government, Taksim was appointed to the post by his friend and then Wasa Board chairman Dr Engr Gholam Mostofa.
In 2009, allegations have it, Taksim was appointed Wasa MD on political considerations and nepotism.
Taksim passed a resolution at a board meeting in April 2010 just to double his salary. His salary was hiked from Tk 1.20 lakh to Tk 2 lakh per month.
Similarly, the salary of the deputy managing directors was increased from Tk 85,000 to Tk 1.40 lakh monthly.
Monthly honorarium of the chairman was raised from Tk 15,000 to Tk 25,000 while that of vice-chairman from Tk 7,000 to Tk 12,500.
Sources said he has been residing at a house of Wasa at a rent which is ten times less than the actual amount, causing a loss of Tk 18 lakh every year to the department.
The incumbent Wasa managing director with the connivance of others increased the salaries “illegally” without approval of the ministry concerned.
Section 29/1 of the Wasa rule 1996 says any decision taken at Wasa board meeting will not be implemented without approval by the ministry.
The board members can increase by only 10 percent the salaries of the employees of the organization. But this increase is also subject to the ministry’s approval.
Taksim is living in a house which belongs to Wasa at the monthly rent of Tk 20,000 only. Actual rent of the house located at 55 Road in Gulshan is Tk 2 lakh now. The other tenants who lived in this house five years ago used to pay Tk 50,000 per month.
The incumbent MD has been drawing double salaries and enjoying other facilities in disregard of rules, sources said.
Supreme Court lawyer Dr Tuhin Malik said, “As Wasa rules do not provide for any special facility to the MD and DMDs, drawing high salaries and other benefits by its incumbent high-up is illegal.”
In absence of any provision of giving special facility to MD and DMDs in Wasa gazette, ordinary rules of the organization will be applicable to all officials, including Taksim, the constitutional expert said.
He stressed that the authorities should conduct investigation into this corruption.
That is WASA in DESCO same irregularities is happening... Heard that in interview DESCO's incharge MD have not done well but to keep that position along with his present position Director he have given bribe and now for months is occupying both the position and did not let publish the interview result and appoint some one in the position for months and intending to carry his rest of the time like this.
Sorry...I didn't only point you...there are many comments on this. As for corruption I wanted to say that we all know there's trade of money, politicization in employing big position but this time it exceeded all because one third country politician recommended a person.
