DINAJPUR, July 20 (UNB): Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) Chairman Lt Gen (retd) Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury Sunday called upon officials and employees of the service sectors to be vigilant so the country's poor people do not become victims of corruption.
"To eliminate corruption from the service and administrative sectors of the country, we all have to take a vow we won't do any corruption, nor allow our family members and subordinates to do so," he said at a discussion titled 'taking initiative to prevent corruption'.
Addressing the meeting at Lokbhaban in the town in the morning, the ACC chairman said, "We don't want to see Bangladesh on top of the corruption chart. We'll work for building a corruption-free Bangladesh getting out of the cycle of corruption. And we will start it from Dinajpur."
Indicating a recent TIB report, he said that presently corruption was taking place mostly in the service sectors. "Stern legal action will be taken if we receive any complaint of bribery-related corruption in these sectors within next three months," he said.
Mashhud also announced that the ACC is going to start an anti-corruption campaign within next one month. ACC will also reward those who will help the commission in arresting people for taking or giving bribe, he said.
