Bangladesh’s Planning Secretary S. M. Shakil Akhter has sharply criticized the lack of proper implementation of government-approved projects, saying that while proposals are well-written on paper, they often fail to materialize effectively. Speaking at a seminar titled “National Energy Resilience Through Renewable Integration: The Bangladesh Perspective” held at the NEC conference room in Agargaon on Tuesday, he emphasized that project execution frequently deviates from the approved plans. Akhter noted that once budget allocations are approved, responsible officials often neglect the actual implementation process. He argued that without identifying and penalizing specific individuals responsible for failures, no reform initiative will succeed. The secretary also objected to the practice of blaming entire teams of 20 to 30 people for implementation failures, insisting that accountability should be focused on those directly involved. He concluded that Bangladesh will only see real progress when a system of individual accountability and punishment for negligence is enforced, signaling a call for structural reform in project management and oversight.
