Corruption Commission (ACC) Mahmud Hasan has said the gross domestic product
(GDP) might increase by 2 percent more if corruption was prevented.

children properly and it will be more effective to infuse good moral values
in them if teachers tell a good sentence on morality daily in the beginning
of classes,” he said.
