Sunday, 5 April 2009
SHERPUR, Apr 4: To dispel skepticism stemming from the resignation of the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) chief, Agriculture Minister and presidium member of the ruling Awami League (AL) Matia Chowdhury said the anti-corruption activities would move in its natural course, reports UNB.
"No one's resignation will leave any impact on its activities," she said while talking to newsmen at Noyabil UP office in Nalitabari Upazila Saturday morning.
"ACC is independent. There is no government interference in the activities of the ACC."
She reassured that the government has its electoral pledge to check corruption. "Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina talked about anti-corruption movement in parliament," said the minister.
Replying to a question from the local newsmen, Matia said ACC chairman Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury was not forced to resign.
"He himself explained the reason for his resignation. He said there was no dynamism in the activities of the ACC," the Agricultural Minister said.
She was distributing VGF rice among poor people at the UP office where she asked the farmers not to worry about rice prices, which now took a downturn amid government measures for dousing the overheated market.
She assured them that the government would fix Boro price so that farmers could earn profit by se lling their produce.
