DHAKA, Jan 13, 2019 (BSS) – Reiterating her government’s firm stance against
corruption, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said the government will
continue its fight against graft to keep up the country’s development spree
and uphold its achievements.
“Though it’s not possible for any country to root out cent percent
corruption, it’s a responsibility of our government to check corruption so
that it cannot impede the uplift of the country and ruin our all successes,”
she said while exchanging views with senior officials of the Prime Minister’s
Office (PMO) on the first working day of her office at the PMO after her
reelection as the prime minister for the fourth time.
The premier continued: “Our war to stamp out terrorism, graft and narcotics
will continue”.
Sheikh Hasina said once the incidents of tender hijacking took place
frequently in the country. “But, we’ve been able to free the country from
this curse…the success came due to the use of technology and it’s a good
result of Digital Bangladesh,” she added.
