Massive irregularities were found in recruitment and promotion at Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), according to an audit.
The independent regulatory body appointed over 100 staffers, including a commissioner, and promoted at least a dozen officials to different posts from 2009 to 2018, violating rules and regulations.
It recruited manpower having lack of required educational qualifications and exceeding age limit, violating the conditions of circulars.
Even, retired government employees were appointed although there is no provision of hiring former public servants, as per the audit report obtained by the Daily Sun.
The audit conducted from October 4 to November 11, 2020 found that many officials were promoted although they lacked qualifications, experiences and exceeded the government age bar.
