Of the 10 committees reviewed by Prothom Alo, eight are ministry-related committees, respectively. These are the committees for the ministries of home affairs; power, energy and mineral resources; expatriate welfare and overseas employment; liberation war affairs; women and children affairs; railway; youth and sports; and shipping. The two subject-based committees are the parliamentary committee on public accounts and parliamentary committee on public undertakings.
The committees outside of these are not very active either. Prothom Alo reported on 23 May that the standing committee on the ministry of finance remained indifferent to the continuous rise in commodity prices, oil crisis in the market before Eid and the rise in the value of the dollar. The economic crisis was not on the agenda of the meeting they held after a gap of five months. Similarly, the parliamentary committee related to the ministry of commerce has been keeping silent. The committee has not met since last February.
