Anti-Corruption
Commission Chairman Ghulam Rahman on Tuesday claimed that the World
Bank's external panel had neither expressed 'happiness' nor
'unhappiness' in its letter written to the anti-graft body. The ACC chief also claimed that the World Bank's external panel had termed the FIR submission on the Padma bridge graft as ‘positive’.
The chairman made the comments nearly a couple of hours after one of the ACC's commissioners on Tuesday reaffirmed that the World Bank's external panel had expressed satisfaction over the probe of Padma bridge project corruption.
The ACC chief was talking to reporters at the ACC's Segunbagicha head office in the capital.
"The ACC is happy over the way the WB panel expressed its reaction on the submission of FIR in the Padma graft case", said the ACC chairman.
Earlier in the morning, ACC Commissioner Mohammad Shahabuddin told reporters at the ACC office that the panel had expressed satisfaction over the probe of the corruption.
ACC commissioner came up with the comment when criticism spread over the news that the WB panel is unhappy with the exclusion of former communications minister Abul Hossain from the list of accused in a corruption case filed by ACC.
Earlier on Monday Shahabuddin said, "They [World Bank's external panel] are happy with that. 'Now you [the ACC] are open as per your law and have got a wider scope to investigate the allegation'."
On the other hand, in a letter to the ACC chairman, the panel said Abul's exclusion shows that the Anti-Corruption Commission is not conducting a complete and fair probe into the corruption conspiracy.
The sequence of events considered by the panel and established by the ACC suggests a criminal conspiracy that includes Abul as the most senior official personally involved, said the panel.
