Presence of an ex-lawmaker, elected with a political party ticket, in a viva board at the Public Service Commission raised question about the fairness of selection process of the highest recruitment authority for government jobs.
About 50 candidates appeared in the qualifying test at PSC on August 13 for assistant professorship in dentistry.
Some of the candidates said that a senior physician, who was elected MP of Bangladesh Nationalist Party from a Shariatpur seat in the Jatiya Sangsad elections on February 15, 1996, was an examiner at one of the three viva boards for selecting five candidates for promotion.
They claimed that the presence of a ‘political person’ in the viva board undermined the neutrality of PSC recruitment process. ‘It also bears the legacy of politically-motivated recruitment during the past regime even after reforms at PSC,’ one of the aggrieved candidates said.
