The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) has taken a decision to seek wealth statement of a former minister, a state minister and a Member of Parliament (MP) as the Commission found allegations of amassing illegal wealth against them.
They are the former health minister AFM Ruhal Haq, former state minister for water resources Mahbubur Rahman, and MP of Rajshahi-4 Engineer Enamul Haq.
The decision was taken at a regular meeting of the commission Sunday, and the notices will be sent within two days, the anti-graft body officials told the reporters.
The ACC has already interrogated the former health minister and state minister for water resources last month for amassing of alleged illegal wealth. After facing grilling the two ministers denied their involvement in accumulation of illegal wealth. Besides, ACC will interrogate Engineer Enamul Haq after getting his wealth statement, sources said.
Earlier, the ACC started investigation into the alleged illegal wealth of the seven ministers and members of parliament (MPs). They were the former health minister, state minister for housing and public works Abdul Mannan Khan, and state minister for water resources, lawmaker of Cox's Bazar-4 Abdur Rahman Bodi, MP of Rajshahi-4 Engineer Enamul Haq, Aslamul Haque of Dhaka-14 and Abdul Zabbar of Satkhira.
Media reports on huge discrepancies between wealth statements of the ministers and MPs that they submitted to the Election Commission (EC) ahead of the 10th parliamentary elections and the statements they had provided prior to the 9th national polls in 2008 created furore among the people.
