For a separate RMG ministry
Sunday, 27 December 2009
For the overburdened Ministry of Industries, the RMG industry is only a part of its responsibilities. Understandably, the RMG sector cannot get its total attention. A separate ministry for RMG industry would lighten the burden of the industry ministry. The new ministry would be able to pay the needed undivided attention to the RMG sector.
The Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has been pleading for long for a separate ministry to look into RMG affairs. So far, the suggestion, despite its merit, got no due response from the government. A full-fledged ministry alone can do justice to the RMG industry, needing undivided attention. A new ministry would be supportive of RMG growth needs in the short, medium and long terms. The RMG problems, both complex and many, cannot be left under the carpet, unattended.
