Bangladesh’s Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed announced that the Finance Ministry will bear all expenses for the overseas medical treatment of Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi. Speaking to reporters after a government procurement advisory committee meeting on Monday, he confirmed that the ministry is prepared to fund the air ambulance and all related costs immediately.
Dr. Ahmed emphasized that the decision to send Hadi abroad was made by the relevant board, and the government promptly sought the ministry’s opinion, to which it responded with full readiness. He added that the country’s political environment remains satisfactory and is expected to become more stable as the Election Commission completes its preparations for the upcoming national polls.
The adviser further stated that the Finance Ministry will allocate funds to the Election Commission as per its forthcoming demand, noting that the election and referendum being held on the same day will increase the budgetary requirement. He also remarked that while the macroeconomic situation is stable, some micro-level weaknesses persist.
