Wednesday, 5 December 2007
FE Report
An Administrator is expected to be appointed by the Ministry of Commerce by Thursday to run the affairs of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) as the tenure of the current executive committee expires December 6, sources said
"We have time to take decision for the FBCCI. We still have two more days," commerce secretary Feroz Ahmed told the FE Tuesday.
The appointment of an administrator has been necessitated following High Court injunction on September 30 against holding the bi-ennial elections of the FBCCI.
When contacted, FBCCI President Mir Nasir Hossain said that a meeting took place Tuesday at the commerce ministry and Rouf Chowdhury, one of its director, represented the body.
The FBCCI Board of Directors, however, will hold their last meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday).
As per the FBCCI Election Commission schedule, the FBCCI election was due on November 20 but a High Court order halted the process.
The tenure of the present FBCCI committee expired September 5 and the Ministry of Commerce extended it up to December 5.
