ACC plans to spread anti-graft activities

In an effort to gear up its activities at the grassroots-level to check corruption across the country, the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to reestablish its offices in all the districts.
 “Steps have already been taken to reestablish the Commission offices in each districts. We’ve formed a committee to find a way how the offices could be resumed,” ACC chairman M Badiuzzaman told UNB.
Earlier, ACC had 66 offices across the country, including two in Bangladesh Railway. Each district had one office. But, the ACC minimised its set-up during the military-backed caretaker government and established 22 integrated district offices.
Badiuzzaman said the ACC is currently facing problems to carry out its activities to check graft in the country in absence of its offices in all the districts.
The ACC chairman said the Commission also cannot properly carry out its anti-graft works and awareness programmes for the lack of offices in every district.
