The government has established a seven-member 'Jatiya Oaikymoto Commission' under the leadership of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus. The commission is tasked with reviewing and adopting the recommendations from six previous reform commissions.


A notification detailing the formation of the commission was issued by the Cabinet Division on Wednesday.

In addition to Professor Yunus, the commission’s members include:

   - Prof. Ali Riaz, Chair of the Constitutional Reform Commission
   - Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, Head of the Public Administration Reform Commission
   - Safar Raj Hossain, Head of the Police Reform Commission
   - Badiul Alam Majumder, Head of the Election Reform Commission
   - Justice Emdadul Haque, Head of the Judiciary Reform Commission
   - Dr. Iftekharuzzaman, Head of the Anti-Corruption Reform Commission

The commission will officially begin its work on February 15, with a six-month mandate to forge national consensus on key reforms. These reforms focus on the election system, public administration, judiciary, anti-corruption measures, and police activities.

In the coming months, the commission will engage in discussions with political parties and other stakeholders to incorporate these reforms into a comprehensive national plan.

The office of the Chief Adviser will provide secretarial support to the commission, as outlined in the notification.
