DHAKA, Feb 17, 2019 (BSS) – Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Chairman Iqbal
Mahmood today stressed the need for collective efforts in curing corruption,
saying, “It is quite impossible to stop corruption by a single organization.”
“Awareness against corruption has been increased due to the government’s
good will to this respect for which corruption in many areas has already been
decreased while it has been remained stagnant at some other areas,” he said
at a view exchange meeting at Segun Bagicha’s ACC headquarters here.
The meeting was arranged to exchange views with students of 30 universities
and medical colleges aimed at getting suggestion from them to effectively
fight the corruption.
Advocating for ensuring quality education to get rid of the menace, he
said, “There might be no person in the society who don’t afraid of ACC. But,
it is impossible to win everything by fright. Quality and moral education are
necessary to stop corruption.”
Referring to 63 percent conviction rate in corruption cases, he said, “We
are yet to reduce corruption at expected level. But 63 percent conviction
rate in corruption cases is a success of our collection efforts.”
