Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan nominated for WB post

The government is planning to reshuffle the top tier of the civil administration in the wake of the possible appointment of Cabinet secretary M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan as Alternate Executive Director of the World Bank (WB), said highly placed sources in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already approved a proposal of the ministry concerned yesterday to nominate M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan as Alternate Executive Director of the WB for three years.
Mr Bhuiyan will replace the existing Alternative Executive Director of the WB, Dr Mohammad Tariq.
A high-ranking official of the PMO said the finance minister will send a proposal for appointing M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan as Alternate Executive Director of the WB to the authorities concerned, including the World Bank headquarters. On receiving approval from the World Bank, a gazette notification would be issued by the public administration ministry. This will take one or two months.
M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan is scheduled to go on post-retirement leave (PRL) on December 14 this year.
The PRL date of Mohammad Tariq as Alternate Executive Director of the WB will be completed on August 13 this year, sources said. His tenure may be extended for two or three months as the process of the new appointment for the post is yet to be completed.
After the new posting of M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan, the post of the Cabinet secretary would become vacant. Principal secretary to the PMO, Abul Kalam Azad, or the senior secretary of the public administration ministry, Dr Kamal Abdul Naser Chowdhury, is tipped to be the successor for the post of Cabinet secretary, the sources added.
According to the sources, Abul Kalam Azad is more likely to become the next Cabinet secretary, even though his PRM date is in January next year. In that case, Kamal Abdul Naser Chowdhury may be made principal secretary to the PMO.

As one of the senior bureaucrats, senior secretary of the home ministry, Dr Mozzamel Haque Khan, may also become principal secretary to the PMO.
It is also learned that energy secretary Abu Bakar Siddiqui or works secretary Moyeen Uddin Abdullah could be posted as secretary of the public administration ministry. Different notifications of the changes are likely to be issued within seven days. After changes in the top posts of the civil administration, there will be further changes in the top posts of different ministries and divisions.
This will create possibilities for some additional secretaries to become acting secretaries in different ministries and divisions, as a number of secretaries is scheduled to retire in the near future.
Sources in the public administration ministry said the government is planning to reshuffle the higher echelons of the administration at the secretarial level as a number of top officials are going on PRL within the next couple of months
