Speaker

DHAKA, Oct 11, 2018 (BSS) – Deputy Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad M Fazley
Rabbi Mia today suggested for forming a strong commission under the
supervision of the Prime Minister in order to appropriate use of the climate
change fund.

“The country needs to have an effective authority to monitor appropriate
use of the government money allocated for the climate change fund,” said the
Deputy Speaker as the chief guest while addressing a roundtable at IPD
conference room in the Jatiya Sangsad here.

Deputy Speaker said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is the only the head of
the government who formed a separate fund for facing the adverse impact of
climate change.

Earlier, the country had to depend on the foreign fund, he added.
