None is above law: ACC chief
DHAKA, July 18, 2019 (BSS)- Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Chairman
Iqbal Mahmood today said the commission is working to reach a message to the
society that none is above law.
“The aim of the commission is to reach a message to each and everybody
that we are not above law,” he told the conference of the deputy
commissioners (DCs) at the secretariat here.
Seeking cooperation from the DCs to root out corruption, Mahmood said
there exists a deep relation between the ACC and the cabinet division. That
is why, the cabinet division is letting the government know about all reform
activities of the ACC. The government is also taking positive initiatives for
its political will against corruption,” he added.
He said a coordinated initiative is necessary in education sector to root
out corruption, irregularity and unethical activities from the society. The
ACC chief urged the DCs to monitor the attendance of teachers in the class
rooms and also their professional activities.
He said the commission has already established ‘Sotota Sangha’ at around
28,000 educational institutions aiming to infuse moral values into the
youths.
The ACC chairman urged the DCs to take more effective actions to curb the
corruption.
