In the National Parliament on Wednesday, April 1, Comilla-4 Member of Parliament Hasnat Abdullah raised a question regarding the long delay in increasing salaries for government employees. He noted that, according to ministerial data, there are 1,450,891 government employees in the country whose last pay scale revision occurred in 2015. Over the past eleven years, inflation has reportedly risen by 50 to 55 percent, significantly increasing living costs. Hasnat asked whether the Ministry of Finance would send any proposal to raise salaries, particularly for employees in the first to fourth grades, and sought details of the government’s specific plans.
In response, Abdul Bari, the State Minister for the Ministry of Public Administration and MP from Joypurhat-2, did not directly address the salary increase issue. He stated that a pay commission has already been formed and is working under the Ministry of Finance. He added that detailed information would be presented in Parliament if a separate notice is issued on the matter.
The exchange highlighted ongoing concerns about stagnant public sector wages amid rising inflation, with the government indicating that further details will come through formal parliamentary procedures.
