Naive Mayor!
A Mahseen, Dhaka
As a resident of Dhaka since the 1930s, I strongly question the naivety of the DCC Mayor in proposing self-assessment of plots and holdings in the metropolis. Why he is imitating the Western modes of the developed countries, where the literacy is almost 100 per cent and the standard of living very high?The vast majority of the owners cannot fill in themselves these technical complicated forms, and have to run to others, who will make money out of these transactions. Why make things complicated? Easy solution: make it an OPTION, not compulsory. Same problem with VAT book-keeping agitation. Who are advising the PM and the Cabinet? Let there be more transparency at the higher levels of officialdom. The second class politicians have too much freedom to take dubious decisions on vital policy matters.
