PREVENTION-CORRUPTION (with picture)
No corrupt element will go unpunished: ACC Commissioner
RAJSHAHI, Oct 8, 2018 (BSS) – Commissioner (Investigation) of Anti
Corruption Commission (ACC) AFM Aminul Islam has said that no corrupt element
will go unpunished.
“It’s high time that we have to prevent corruption. We can’t keep an
uneven path of corruption for our future generation. We want to establish
such a country which will be free from corruption,” he reiterated.
ACC Commissioner urged all to raise their voice against corruption
unitedly to fight the long persisting social menace effectively.
He was addressing a discussion meeting at auditorium of Bangladesh
Employees Welfare Board in Rajshahi as chief guest today. ACC Divisional
Office organized the meeting on the occasion of distributing prizes among the
best city/district and upazila corruption prevention committees.
Forty committees were given prizes for their laudable contribution to
forge social resistance against corruption on the occasion.
Chaired by Deputy Commissioner SM Abdul Kader the meeting was addressed,
among others, by Additional Commissioner of Rajshahi Division Aminul Islam,
Commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police AK Hafiz Akhter, ACC Director Md
Muniruzzaman and divisional director Abdul Karim.
ACC Commissioner Islam said: “No graft suspect will be spared. All
suspects will be brought to justice.”
He mentioned that corruption undermines economic development, increase
poverty, exploitation and injustice, prevent good governance, accountability
and transparency and create social and political instability and insecurity.
He further said institutional corruptions have to be checked first
before taking lawful action against a person who is involved in corruption
willingly or unwillingly.
Mr Islam also said elimination of corruption is a very difficult task.
So, we have to work together to reduce corruption.
He laid importance on creation of awareness among the mass people,
especially the young generation, to eliminate corruption from the society.
Concerted effort is crucially important to check bribery as it is impossible
for the ACC alone to fight corruption.
