ACC in action

Last year, the country witnessed the ouster of its energy minister following allegations of receiving kickbacks from a foreign company, which was awarded works in our gas field drilling. It would be fair and an act of courage for the ACC to dog the people holding high public offices.

The ACC is here in Bangladesh at a time when Bangladesh has been given the title of the 'most corrupt country' in the world, having been ranked so by TIB five times in a row. We won't need TIB to call us most corrupt, we ourselves are the witnesses to this menace of corruption which we are every day being prey to for any service we seek from any public utilities/servants. Time presses that the ACC must do things to stop the rot and in their drive to hunt the corrupt men it will without fear or favour put its foot down on whatever big shots they are and wherever they belong to, either the incumbent government or to the past governments.

ACC has already expressed its desire to bring down the corruption index to a respectable level. We support the idea.
