PMO Principal Secy Tofazzel Hossain Miah sacked

The principal secretary at the Prime Minister's Office Mohammad Tofazzel Hossain Miah has lost his job with immediate effect, just 24 hours before he was to get a new boss.

Miah recently had his tenure extended for a second time for another year on Jun 26 by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, reports bdnews24.com.

He was appointed principal secretary on Dec 7, 2022, after serving as senior secretary at the PMO.

His previous term had expired on Jul 4, 2023, leading to a one-year contract extension.

The abrupt termination of Miah's contract comes amid ongoing changes following Hasina's resignation and departure from the country.

The interim government process is now underway.
