ACC to go against service-providing bodies for graft
Tuesday, 18 December 2007
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is collecting data and information for taking steps against the service-providing organisations that have earned bad reputation for corruption, reports UNB.
"We're collecting data and information in this connection… Then various measures will be taken gradually against those organisations," ACC Director General (Admin) Col Hanif Iqbal said during the Commission's regular briefing Monday.
Replying to a question in this connection, he also said the Commission during its public relation activities will take ideas from people and data and information collection is going on the basis of that.
Asked to name the organisations, Hanif said, "The task of collecting data and information is going on. I don't want to name any organisation in advance."
Responding to a questioner, he said the Commission is doing this with its own initiative and there is no relation with the activities of the task forces.
To a questioner, the director general said the investigations into the cases filed against former premiers Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina for their alleged corruption in awarding deals to Niko have already begun. "Investigation officers have already been appointed and, as I know, they have begun the investigations," he said.
