Election-time government likely in Oct: Muhith

Finance Minister AMA Muhith today said he thinks the election-time government may be formed in October since the next parliamentary polls will be held in December this year.

“I don’t know about the time of the formation of election-time government. But I think, it may be formed in October since the national election will be held in December,” he told journalists after the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase (CCGC) meeting at the Cabinet Division in the city, BSS reported.

Responding to a question on increasing the age limit of entering the public service to 32 years from 30 years, Muhith said there is no possibility of increasing the age limit before the election.

Regarding the reserve heist of Bangladesh Bank, the finance minister said BB is taking all sorts of preparations to file a lawsuit within the scheduled time against the Filipino Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) to recover the whole heisted money.
