BPC and poor quality diesel

I read the news that the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) was to buy some diesel from Kuwait, which is not recommended, safe for consumption.

I feel it's high time that the high officials who risk the state and people's interests unilaterally at a high cost be taken to task.

At a time when there is a hue & cry in the country over dearth of diesel, the latest decision to call open tender can be hailed but question remains what action was being taken on the reported arrangement to receive the 'harmful diesel' from Kuwait which, if received, would have incurred a loss, as reported, to the tune of Tk. 2.5 crore.

Have the authorities identified the involved persons who played ducks & drakes with the fate and life of the people and attempted to plunder the state coffers?
