A civil servant, identified as Kashim Chowdhury, has publicly admitted to making errors regarding his professional commitments after it was discovered he was simultaneously employed in five different government roles. The scale of his employment was highlighted by the fact that his combined contracts required him to work 183 hours per week.

Because a standard week contains only 168 hours, it was mathematically impossible for Chowdhury to fulfill the requirements of all five positions as stipulated in his contracts. The admission of 'mistakes' follows scrutiny regarding how such a high volume of work could be assigned to a single individual without oversight or detection by the relevant government departments. While the report confirms the admission of error, it does not detail the specific nature of the work performed in each role or the total financial compensation received across the five contracts. The situation has raised questions regarding administrative oversight and the vetting processes used when hiring contractors for public sector work.
