ACC will strengthen drive against graft in health sector: Mahmood
DHAKA, July 10, 2020 (BSS) – Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)
Chairman Iqbal Mahmood today said the national anti-graft agency will
intensify its drive to bring to justice those involved in corruption
in the health sector and relief scam.
“Although the Commission’s regular activities have been suspended
due to coronavirus pandemic, it will intensify its drive against those
involved in corruption in the relief and health sectors,” he told a
virtual meeting.
The ACC chief warned that the graft suspects would be brought to
justice for the welfare of the people.
The full commission meeting was held on the implementation of its
Strategic Work Plan 2019, an ACC press release said.
Mahmood said more than 18 officers of the Commission have so far
been infected with coronavirus, while two promising officers died of
COVID-19.
Amid this adverse situation, he said, the ACC officials are filing
cases, arresting suspects, summoning the accused and interrogating
them.
“Perform your duties following the health guidelines. If necessary,
conduct inquiry and investigation activities staying at home. In such
cases, the file register must be followed in the movement of documents
and the ACC secretary should be informed of it,” he added.
ACC commissioners AFM Aminul Islam and Dr Md Mozammel Haque Khan,
and senior ACC officials joined the virtual meeting.
