"Kazemi was a good deputy governor when We joined in the central bank seeing that governor. And I caused him very carefully. He gathered versatile knowledge on the means of the central bank," explained Salehuddin Ahmed, another ex - governor.
On completion of his tenure as deputy governor, he got offers to serve in many authorities and autonomous entities but he declined those.
"I requested him to serve the central bank as adviser in 2008. And he did it until his death. He was also among the designers of the country's many digital personal services," Ahmed said.
