Int’l Anti- corruption Day observed

Deputy Country Director of UNDP in Bangladesh Nick Beresford has said corruption leads to creating unemployment and the young people suffer badly as a consequence, reports UNB.

"Fighting corruption is a global concern because corruption is found in both rich and poor countries, and evidence shows that it hurts poor people disproportionately," he said speaking about the impact of corruption on society.

Beresford was speaking at an interactive event with young volunteers representing different youth activist orgnisations at the Russian Cultural Centre on Tuesday evening marking the International Anti-Corruption Day 2014.

Dr Nasiruddin Ahmed, Commissioner of Anti-corruption Commission (ACC), and Dr Iftekharuzzaman, Executive Director of Transparency International Bangladesh, were present as special guests.
