ACC questionable for dropping Abul Hossain:World Bank


The Feb 20 report was published on World Bank website on Tuesday. This report was handed over to Finance Minister AMA Muhith a few days back.

The three-member panel, led by Louis Moreno-Ocampo, filed the report where it said the ACC investigation did not appear to be full and fair.

“The Panel maintains that there were no legal reasons to exclude the name of the former Minister of Communications from the initial list of persons under investigation.”

“The Panel agrees with the decision to pursue a formal investigation of the seven named individuals” who allegedly tried to take bribes for themselves and others by favouring Canada-based SNC Lavalin and its partners inthe tender process for construction supervision consultant.

However, the report said “that a final assessment of the adequacy of the ACC’s investigative activities should be done at the end of its investigation”.
